Transition Portishead aims to help the people of Portishead work together as a community to adapt to a changing and uncertain future.
b
The twin problems of Climate Change and Peak Oil present massive challenges to societies across the world.
Effective responses need to be made at global and national levels. However this will not be enough if we, individually, do not respond with equal urgency and commitment.
Transition Portishead is raising awareness about these issues, organising projects around the themes of food, energy, and recycling, and running a programme of workshops with local schools.
If you'd like to support us and be kept in touch with the latest news please send us an email.

Farmer's Market
Waitrose Piazza 9:00 to 12:00
This month we are focussing on broad beans.
Winter sown beans should be cropping this month so bring along your favourite recipe. Come and get tips on making pots from newspaper and using them and toilet roll middles for sowing courgettes,carrots, and herbs. We will have compost bins and green bags and new this year we have green recycling boxes that can no longer be used on the street so we are recycling them for North Somerset Council! Try using them to grow potatoes, carrots, and salad crops.
And of course come and find the best of local produce all from within a 30 mile radius of Portishead.
Our colleagues from Low Carbon Gordano will be sharing our stall this month and will be providing free energy advice.
