Transition Town Christchurch launches “GARDENSHARE”
T
he Transition Movement began about ten years ago and it immediately caught my interest as it aimed to spread the word at local level about environmental issues. It did not intend to press people to join huge campaigns but to encourage them to look at ways of changing how things were done in their neighbourhood. This became known as a ‘transition’. There are now hundreds of Transition groups in UK and in many other countries. We believe that lower energy consumption will become inevitable and that it is better to plan for it than to be taken by surprise. Communities have started up projects in areas of food, transport, energy and waste as local responses to the global challenges. Together these small-scale initiatives make up something much bigger, and help show a sustainable way forward for governments, businesses and the rest of us. In Christchurch we believe that more food should be produced locally, not least to reduce the ‘food miles’ that are currently expended to fill our supermarkets. Transition Town Christchurch has previously championed local food producers but now we want to enable individuals who have nowhere to grow their own produce to link with garden owners who have unused space. We will meet with each grower and garden owner to help them find the best way for the scheme to work.
