Aims

Transition Sherborne Area (a transition town in West Dorset) is positively committed to tackling the twin challenges of climate change and fossil fuel depletion at the community level. At its heart, the transition process conveys that, with the right approach, a world beyond peak oil can be better than the one we find ourselves in today. We aim to do this by exploring and living in more sustainable, less carbon intensive and healthier ways. We are engaging our community (Sherborne town and the surrounding area) in dialogue, holding a number of events and exploring local solutions to the challenges we all face.

Transition is fluid! It is about local people doing local things.

The general aim behind the Transition Movement is to provide a local response to the twin issues of Oil Scarcity and Climate Change, while building Resilience – three topics that are likely to have a major impact on our lives this century.
