Peterborough in Transition

Peterborough in Transition is a group of local residents finding ways to survive and thrive through financial and climate crisis.

[Transition Cambridge @TransitionCambs]

The water shortage in Cambridge is acute and even with no growth we need to use less. The same goes for the whole country, albeit not quite so urgently. Please fill in our survey (you could win £30 shopping vouchers). @ccfcambridge @cambridgeppf https://t.co/zhhW8hFXLy

This week’s #IPCC report made clear that the fossil fuel era is over ❌🔥🌍

Along with @UKDivest, we are calling on the UK’s councils, pension funds and financial institutions to #DivestfromCrisis and #InvestinourFuture.

A lil' late in posting, but here is our New Year pick ♻️🎄🚮💚

Disposable vapes are definitely an increasing issue!

2xlitter and 1xrecycling collected (our first bag of separated #recycing being collected by the council - #progress)

#SustainablePeterborough 💚🌱

[Peterborough in Transition @TransitionPboro]

An inpromptu pick at lunch time today resulted in 5 bags of litter and 1 of recycling.

Drains are definitely an issue this time of year, something @PeterboroughCC and @AnglianWater should be addressing.

Bags 69/312

Another litter pick this weekend. Back to the corner of London Road and Fletton Avenue.

Thank you to our small but efficient team yesterday. We collected 5 bags and what we believe to be a piece from a car.

Bags: 60/312 (we need to up our game).

[Peterborough Green Party @PboroGreenParty]

Everybody at Peterborough Green Party sends our love and solidarity to the people of Vinnytsia, Peterborough's twin city, following the tragic events of yesterday.

[Peterborough Green Party @PboroGreenParty]

We are deeply saddened by the felling of the Bretton Oak Tree. Our councillors have continually supported the residents & campaigners. Our hearts go out to all those who have fought for the tree. We have become part of an amazing community of people. #StopTheChop #BrettonOakTree

[Peterborough in Transition @TransitionPboro]

Why it is so important that we divest from fossil fuels!

Baking in our commitment to them; risking our future environment if we do not act fast enough; risking the stranded assets they will become when they realise we have to act!

[Stop Silvertown Tunnel Traffic and Pollution @SilvertownTn]

📢We’ve united with over 40 community-led activist groups to ask SPM Group (@spmggroup), the owners & managers of the British LGBT Awards (@BritLGBTAwards), to drop @Macquarie as co-headline sponsor of this year’s British LGBT Awards. There are several reasons for this, 🧵. (1/)

[Peterborough in Transition @TransitionPboro]

Thank you to all that turned up to todays #GrowingCommunities event. IF you want to know more, get in touch.

[Make My Money Matter @MMMoneyMatter]

Just 20 companies are responsible for 1/3 of global emissions 🤯

This AGM season your pension can play a critical role in cutting these emissions. By voting in favour of key resolutions the industry can back their climate commitments with real action ✊

[Fossil Free WYPF @FossilFreeWYPF]

Success! @FossilFreeWYPF asked @WYPF_LGPS IAP cllrs to uphold their council policies to divest at the April mtg: 4 of them did. WYPF plans 2 reduce exposure 2 equities: pressure is building to sell fossil fuel shares (ie partial divestment). Officers will address this b4 next IAP

[Peterborough in Transition @TransitionPboro]

With local elections next week it’s important that all those standing to represent your area share your concerns and will take climate action seriously.

@cambspborocac have created some questions to get you started when candidates come knocking.
