サステイナブル・デヴィズ
サステイナブル・デヴィズ・ネットワークは2008年、気候変動に配慮したイニシアチブの結成を希望する数人の個人と、さまざまなコミュニティ・グループの代表者によって結成された。.
For the first four years the group was relatively active, compiling a local food directory, hosting talks, film nights and exchanging experiences with other groups. The group have consistently organized annual Seed Swap events with stalls offering specialist advice. Other events have included hosting several Low Energy Devizes (LED) events, which showcased local environmental businesses and other initiatives, plus offering advice on energy saving measures. We also included a thermal imaging service. After which the group became dormant for a few years. At the end of 2014 an Inaugural General Meeting was held, which agreed to relaunch the group and strive to become a Transition Initiative. Monthly meetings were reinstated and we now have a Management Team which has been meeting regularly ever since. At the beginning of 2016 we were successful in obtaining official recognition as a Transition Town initiative.
We have since established a good working partnership with the Town Council and at present are working on various initiatives across the broad themes of Biodiversity, Cycling, Energy, Food, and Waste.
We currently host a Community Fridge, as well as an annual programme of events that includes:
-
A Seed Swap
Several Book and Toy Swaps
A community meal called ‘The Lovely Lunch’
A sustainability day called ‘Thrive’ collaborating with local food growers, and including family-friendly arts and crafts sessions
Family cookery sessions called ‘Green Grub Club’
Alongside these regular events in 2026, we also hosted a talk from Rob Hopkins; a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing Film, and a screening of the documentary Fires & Fascism with a Director Q&A.
私たちはまだ小さなグループですが、大きな野心を持っています。新しいメンバーも大歓迎です。詳しくはお問い合わせください。.
