We are a newly formed environmental group in the West End of Glasgow.
We aim to run practical projects that prepare for and mitigate against climate change and peak oil. Initially, we'll be focussing on green space and food growing projects alongside making links with other groups in the area.
The wider Transition movement only started in 2005 but there are now over 1000 initiatives spread across 34 countries. Each Transition Initiative works at a local level in a town, village, part of a city or island. So far Transition Initiatives have run countless food growing, energy saving and environmental awareness projects. They've set up self sustaining community enterprises and even launched local currencies. Their emphasis is always on local level, positive action, helping communities along the transition to low carbon living without telling people what they should or shouldn't be doing.
If this sounds like something you'd like to get involved in, please come along to our monthly meetings. Our next one is on Thursday 29th November in Offshore coffee shop on Gibson Street. All are welcome to come along but if you'd like to get in touch first, just email info@transitionwestend.co.uk
