Övergång Cambridge

We are people who live or work in the Cambridge area and get together to do things such as:

Learning how to live well using less energy Growing more of our own food locally Repairing, re-using and recycling stuff so that less is wasted Creating community gardens

Faced with uncertain energy prices and climate change, our response is to build a stronger, more versatile community – a community with the capacity to adapt to whatever happens and where we can be happy and healthy. Making better use of local resources also means saving money, by growing more of our own food and by reusing and adapting stuff instead of throwing it away.

How does it work? Our system is very simple: if you want to do something that supports our aims, we will do our best to help you find some people who want to do it with you, so you can plan together how to do it – and then do it. One member of each project comes to core group meetings, which take place once a month. To get involved, you can either join an existing group or project or come directly to the core group with an idea of how you’d like to contribute. We welcome newcomers – no matter what your experiences and skills, there will surely be a way for you to contribute!
