It is almost a year since we started meeting online (with a couple of in-person meetings in the summer) and all agree it is difficult to make and keep personal connections without the in-person events that create real connections. All Transition Town groups however agree that we cycle through high and low activity periods, and it is important to keep the flame burning, because the energy will return. That is especially true in Kingston, where there are so many initiatives that dovetail with Transition thinking, and where there are many potential partners and projects to support. So join us and share your vision.

Transition Kingston has consistently opposed the Kingstonian project. We do not understand why Kingston, which is rightly proud of its silver level Climate Smart certification, allows this development, based on 20th century design and technology, to go forward in the third decade of the 21st century. It is out of date before the first shovel is raised. The NYS Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act of 2019 demands that developers be held to building code standards that promise low- to zero-carbon emissions for the life of the building. The Kingstonian will need expensive retrofitting almost as soon as it is built. There are many other reasons to object to this monstrosity that will do nothing to alleviate the housing crisis in the city, but this is one that flies in the face of what the city is supporting with its other hand, such as going after the Climate Smart gold certification and the Dover Kohl initiative.
