Transition Town Bridport wants to create links
with any local group or organisation which is working towards our shared goals
of reduced dependency on fossil fuels, resilience in the face of peak oil and
the promotion of sustainability and local self-reliance.
Creating links with each other and working together is
all-important.
See below for details of those already on
board and please let us know if you would like to work with us too.
