The transition movement is spreading fast. In response to the twin challenges of Climate Change, and imminent peaking of oil reserves, we have to find lower impact ways to live on the planet.
Transition Towns attempt in their local area to find, support and create positive projects for change. Reskilling people to live in a low-carbon economy, reducing their personal carbon footprint, and rebuilding a sense of community.
Transition Town Poole meets monthly. Our next meeting is planned for Tues 13th July 2010 at 7:30pm at Coffee, Cakes and Candy in Poole High Street. Contact Andy H on 01202 389782 for details.
We are currently working especially on the following projects;
- Abundance – cropping fruit and nuts that might otherwise be wasted
- Grooves on the Green – a Poole Transition Town stall at the popular Ashley Cross event
- Turners Field – a wild area in Upper Parkstone given to the people of Poole
but please also check on the right the ideas and projects we are keen to pursue

If you live, work or play in Poole, you are invited to join the group, or just to take some of our ideas and apply them to your own life. We are part of the Transition BH hub, with other groups in Bournemouth, Christchurch, Wimborne and Purbeck. And if you live elsewhere, good luck in finding a Transition group near you, or setting one up – check the transition network Google map !
We have a Google group, which allows members to share ideas, http://groups.google.com/group/transition-poole
