In Episode 12 of Green Hearts in Action, we sit down with Andrew Knox, an environmental engineer and passionate community organizer with Transition Toronto, the local chapter of the global Transition Town movement.

Andrew shares his journey from climate concern to community action—and how the Transition movement empowers neighborhoods to take climate solutions into their own hands. We talk about building local resilience, what a low-carbon, livable community could look like, and how small-scale projects—from fruit tree planting to district energy systems—can create ripple effects of sustainability and joy.

This episode explores the real-world challenges of volunteer-powered work, the power of planting a single apple tree, and why creating change with your neighbors might just be the best hope we’ve got.
