WHAT IS TRANSITION HERTFORD?

Transition Hertford is a community-led response to the pressures of climate change, fossil fuel depletion and economic contraction.

Even with these pressures, we believe our lives don’t have to change for the worse. Transforming our community into a Transition Town is one way we can all work together creatively to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

So how can we do that? By raising awareness of the issues, harnessing local enthusiasm and tapping into the community's collective genius. It can mean setting up new recycling projects, encouraging the community to grow its own food or finding new and inspiring ways for the town and its residents to cut energy use.

Working together we can determine the best ways to build community resilience and reduce the town’s carbon footprint. Want to cut your energy bills, grow fresh food or help plan a sustainable future? Can you offer skills, or want to learn new ones? Join the Transition Hertford Community and maybe pick one or more of our Working Groups to engage with if they interest you.

Discover useful links to local food schemes etc. Additionally, see the Transition Hertford Constitution here. And watch this site for hot news on ways to cut your electricity carbon footprint or local energy saving schemes to help you reduce your electricity bill.

We also have a Facebook group too: please join up there if you are a user.
