Bro Gwaun

TRANSITION BRO GWAUN – övergångsgruppen som är aktiv i Fishguard, Goodwick och omgivningarna i sydvästra Wales – startade 2008. Den samlar lokalbefolkningen för att dela idéer, kunskaper och resurser så att vi kan leva mer hållbart och utforska sätt att genomföra den nödvändiga övergången till vår utmanande framtid.

VAD VI GÖR

Develop renewable energy opportunities. Our community wind turbine is now operating and will, in the future, provide income for the community to spend on a range of sustainable and environmental projects. We are also looking into the possibility of a tidal flow turbine. Reduce carbon emissions by preventing unwanted food going to landfill. We collect from local shops and businesses and turn perfectly good surplus food into affordable, healthy meals for sale in Transition community cafe. Provide information and organise community activities to help people gain awareness and develop practical skills for sustainable living. Find allotments and community growing areas; organise seed and plant swaps and ‘grow your own’ events. Work in partnership with other local organisations to promote our message e.g. at the Farmers Market, the Fishguard Carnival and Show, the annual Food, Jazz and Folk Festivals. Encourage local organisations to make use of our premises e.g. as a venue for meetings, fund-raising and community events. Provide work experience and employment opportunities particularly for young people, disabled people and the long term unemployed. Host a Credit Union service point in the Community Cafe. Sell our eco-shopping bag – with a ‘Save our Planet’ design by a local school child.
