Nachhaltiges Bridport

Transition Town Bridport wurde Anfang 2009 gegründet und hat sich seitdem prächtig entwickelt. Im Jahr 2023 haben wir uns nach 14 Jahren, in denen wir erklärt haben, was eine Transition Town ist, in Sustainable Bridport umbenannt! Bridport ist eine Marktstadt mit vielen Initiativen, die sich für eine nachhaltige Stadt einsetzen. SB arbeitet mit diesen zusammen, um Maßnahmen in den Bereichen Ernährung, Sanierung von Häusern, erneuerbare Energien und Qualifikationen zu unterstützen. Wir haben drei regelmäßige Beiträge:

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.

Wir engagieren uns stark bei Bridport Food Matters, der Bridport Local Food Group, den Dorset EcoChurches, Dorset Community Energy und dem Dorset Climate Action Network.
