Bæredygtig Bridport
Transition Town Bridport blev dannet i begyndelsen af 2009 og har blomstret lige siden. I 2023 omdøbte vi os selv til Sustainable Bridport efter 14 år med at forklare, hvad en omstillingsby er! Bridport er en købstad med mange initiativer, der arbejder for en bæredygtig by. SB arbejder sammen med disse for at opretholde indsatsen inden for fødevarer, renovering af boliger, vedvarende energi og færdigheder. Vi har tre regelmæssige input:
-
We run two edible gardens at St Mary’s and Bridport Primary schools, each with polytunnels and an allotment, involving children in growing vegetables and fruits. Thes are run with Home In Bridport. We also run cookery courses and social events round the cob pizza oven. We initiated a glut stall to share surplus produce from our allotment and local gardeners., which has continued for four years as Bridport Community Food Stall. We organise trips for school classes to Tamarisk Farm, and organic mixed farm.
Greener Homes is an initiative to showcase building and retrofitting homes and adopting low impact lifestyles. This has now spread to the whole of Dorset, with 40-60 households opening their homes to visitors to share their vision and experience. www.dorsetgreenerhomes.org, mainly now part of Dorset Climate Action Network.
Bridport Fashion Revolution continues to be part of SB and campaigns on fast fashion with clothes swaps and repair workshops. With the help of a Transition Together workshop we have been running textile workshop at the youth club for younger people.
Vi er stærkt involveret i Bridport Food Matters, Bridport Local Food Group, Dorset EcoChurches, Dorset Community Energy og Dorset Climate Action Network.
