Bridport sostenible

Transition Town Bridport se formó a principios de 2009 y ha prosperado desde entonces. En 2023, tras 14 años explicando qué es una ciudad en transición, cambiamos nuestro nombre por el de Sustainable Bridport. Bridport es una ciudad comercial con muchas iniciativas que trabajan para lograr una ciudad sostenible. SB colabora con ellas para mantener la acción en materia de alimentación, rehabilitación de viviendas, energías renovables y habilidades. Tenemos tres aportaciones regulares:

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.

Estamos muy involucrados en Bridport Food Matters, el grupo Bridport Local Food, Dorset EcoChurches, Dorset Community Energy y Dorset Climate Action Network.
