In Aberdeen
What’s happening in the North-east:
Here in Aberdeen, the Transition project funded by the Climate Challenge fund is focussing on three main areas: training, allotment regeneration and landshare projects.
The training examines ways to lower our carbon footprint, including keeping traditional crafts alive, looking at renewable energy techniques and growing your own food. A series of clearance days on derelict allotments will enable these to be put back into use, while a landshare scheme will link garden owners with keen growers, helping both to share their resources.
Monitoring the carbon reductions from each of these projects will help us to see exactly how we’re helping. A steering group and accompanying subgroups are planned, to look at issues like transport, energy, food and others.
Elsewhere in Aberdeen, the University has an enthusiastic Transition group, and further afield, Forres and the Black Isle have thriving Transition movements of their own, and inspire many others to take action.
