Transition Cambridge in the media

WHAT IS TRANSITION CAMBRIDGE?
We are

• part of the Transition Towns network of communities
• responding to the challenges and opportunities of Peak Oil and climate change
• changing now because we want to - not waiting until we have to
• towards a lower energy, sustainable and prosperous future

The organisation is

• a loose federation of voluntary groups, involved in raising awareness and practical projects
• aiming to inspire positive, solution-focused responses

This website provides information

• about us: the steering group and other groups
• events coming up and calendar
• what we have been doing

The Transition Café - usually fortnightly on Thursdays 8-10:30pm at the community café at 22a Jesus Lane - is a great place to meet up with other transitioners. It's run by volunteers (so if you'd like to help let us know) and will run throughout the summer.

We now have bulletin board facilities - do take a look at our discussion forums.

"The Transition Handbook", £12 is available to buy. It is the definitive guide to the Transition Towns movement, written by its founder, Rob Hopkins. Get yours from the Transition Café, from Mary Geddes (phone Cambridge 563127), or from the Libra Aries bookshop on Mill Road.

Or email us (and ask for a regular news bulletin)
