A Transition to ecological sustainability will come because of survival needs. As peak oil and climate change deepen there will be more unrest due to economics and disasters.

Transportation costs, natural disasters, crime and wars will cause increased food, fuel and utility prices. There will be a general ill health of United States citizens because of deepening pollution. There will be increased crime and terrorist action within the borders of the United States. This is inevitable. There is no power to stop this natural evolution. Most humans have proven to be unable to recognize these natural consequences. There are not enough of us who do recognize where this leads to halt or slow the trend.

There are pockets of cities, towns and communities that have started the move toward resilience, a few have a goal of transitioning to full sustainability. Sustainability as a definition will have to include protection from criminals, terrorists and corporate-government.

The solutions that could be put in place are dependent upon recognition of the possibilities. Unless those of us with recognition of consequences put means into place to assure our communities' freedom from corporate-government dominance we are sure to be the "unwashed masses", the slaves of the dominant group.

Corporations already recognize that there are finite resources and the actions that they have been taking over that past 50 years bears witness to this fact. There is already corporate national government take-over in the United States.

The occupy movement will have to grow. I suggest a marriage of the occupy and transition communities. Food production, garment making, local materials for housing and sun/wind electricity supply can be the focus of transition to support the occupy movements in their non-violent systems disruption.
