Welcome

Stamford Transition Town is all about taking action locally to help tackle two big, global issues: climate change and peak oil.

A lot of what we can do locally is aimed at reducing energy use and using it more efficiently:

  • Eat more locally grown food – it doesn’t have to travel far to get to you.
  • Cut down on waste by reusing what still works and recycling what doesn’t.  Making stuff uses energy, so by not wasting what has already been made we save energy.
  • Travel efficiently – walk, cycle, use the bus or train, share car journeys, drive sustainably (through better driving and using fuel efficient cars).
  • Use energy more efficiently in our homes and businesses – a straight forward gain!
  • Produce sustainable energy locally – so reducing the need to burn fossil fuels.
  • Drink tap water - by filling your own water bottle you help reduce the need for throw away packaging.

There’s more to add – and that’s where you come in: you can help make the vision a reality.  We are a grassroots organization that is driving action by what the community and you want to get done.

Stamford is one of around 410 Transition Town initiatives across the UK and the world.  To find out more about the Transition Town movement have a look at www.transitionnetwork.org.  Have a look at the latest national and international news Transition Network Newsletter - May 2012.
