Two years ago, Transition group Zero Carbon Guildford moved into a former New Look high street store and transformed it into a buzzing community climate hub.
Volunteers set up a library of things, community fridge, zero waste shop, baby clothes library, business network and a vertical farm growing salad crops.
They ran cinema, quiz and open mic nights, a food waste feast along the high street, and a climate conversation group.
They trained energy advisors and citizen scientists to test the local river’s water quality, and hosted dozens of groups from other communities who wanted to create a hub just like theirs.
In two years, they reckon their projects have saved a whooping 583 tonnes of CO2 emissions from their community.
It shows how people who are concerned can come together, and have a real, tangible impact and engage whole new audiences with some volunteer power and a meantime space. It’s why they won innovative UK climate project in the Climate Coalition’s annual awards this year.
Now their lease is up, and they want to take Zero Carbon Guildford to a new home and the next level. They’ve set up a crowdfunder, hoping to find out what they could achieve with great capacity and a more permanent space.

The Government is still failing on net zero, so we are taking them back to court.
Good Law Project is taking legal action with Friends of the Earth and ClientEarth to ensure the Government tackles the climate crisis.
We’re now in the crucial decade to stop irreversible damage from global heating, but our Government still hasn’t produced a realistic plan to tackle the climate emergency.

For anyone equally as appalled by the #NotMyKing arrests this morning, the Republic website is here https://www.republic.org.uk/ and their #Crowdfunder page is here https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/notmyking
Republic weren't really on my radar before today, but the #MetPolice really took the piss. I've donated and so have many others ...

Is boosting your own toot considered bad form here? Let me know. If so apologies! Do I toot it again in a few days if important?
I boosted my #introduction and #crowdfunder. 🤷♀️
