Porter Valley

From TransitionSheffield

Welcome to the Porter Valley Transition Site

There is a Porter Valley new email list for people in the Porter Valley who want to get a local transition group going.

We are currently doing lots of stuff in the S10/S11/Porter Valley area of Sheffield - from growing more fruit and vegetables locally, to awareness raising of the problems with relying on fossil fuels, and getting to know lots of people from all different backgrounds and interests who live in S11. This is a very new group, and we would love to hear from you!

You can either:

- Sign up to the Porter Valley new email list to join in the debate and get more details of different things as they start to happen.

- or if you prefer more occasional emails to keep you up to date with upcoming events, send an email to porter-valley@transitionsheffield.org.uk.

Best wishes

TPV

FAQ: What is 'Transition Porter Valley' exactly?

First of all, Transition Porter Valley does not come from any organisation, political party, or belief system. It's for anyone living in the S10/S11/Porter Valley area.

'Transition' is all about local people finding creative, practical, positive solutions to the problems caused by our current complete reliance on fossil fuels (oil, coal, and gas).

As well as being by far the biggest cause of climate change, fossil fuels are running out very fast as we all consume more and more energy. Our local, national and global economy is going to have to adapt quickly to these new realities.

A 'transition' approach uses the diverse skills and abilities of everyone in the community to make the changes we need in order to meet these challenges - both now and in the future.
