TRANSITION TOWNS

Granja Viana: a community 20 miles from the biggest economic and financial

center in South America. We made a choice: migrating from the big city to live

near the green belt of São Paulo.

Some of our working groups

The Solidarity Exchange Fair AUescambAU

The Solidarity Exchange Fair AUescambAU happens every first

Sunday of the month together with the EcoFeira in Granja

Viana. The fair puts into practice the idea of changing consumer

habits. People exchange clothes, books, objects and services. The

fair intends to change our consumption habits, aiming at

sustainability, solidarity and community spirit.

EARTH HOURA worldwide event in which

Granja Viana participated in a very particular way. Besides joining world campaign that aims to draw attention

to global warming, the action at Granja Viana had a local and

particular approach: 47 restaurants joined and offered candle-lit dinners and also contributed with resources gathered that night for revitalizing special places in Granja Viana.

GOL (Goal: We Like Local

Organic Products!) The idea is

simple and is already being

implemented by a group of

families: to buy organic food

directly from local organic

farmers. Our local farmers

were about to give up their jobs

because they were not being

able to sell their organic

production.

SOS Pedestrian!

Petition created with the purpose of claiming the municipal

government to install "crosswalks" in places with large flow

of people like: School of Granja Viana (Rua José Félix de

Oliveira), Forest Village (Av. São Camilo) , Supermarket

Serrano (Rua José Félix de Oliveira) and Warehouse

Nicholas (São Camilo Avenue). The absence of bands

hinders the crossing and endanger the lives of students,

workers and pedestrians in

general.http://www.peticaopublica.com.br/?pi=P2012N2428
