Transition Aberdeen
Posted by CBMCC
Aberdeen Forward is running a project called Transition Aberdeen, which aims to help communities deal with the twin challenges of climate change and peak oil, by taking simple, constructive action. The main aspects of the project are providing sustainability training, getting derelict allotments back into production and establishing a 'landshare' scheme and community growing areas within Aberdeen.
We provide information on environmental topics and run eco-friendly community workshops, such as upholstery, arts and crafts and composting. In addition to this, we run fully serviced office suites and provide mail box and virtual office services to the business community. We also sell second hand office furniture and stationery through our Creative Waste Exchange project to both the general public and business community. All of our work is in-keeping with our ethos to protect the environment, minimise waste and reduce landfill.
