Portobello Transition Town

We are a Portobello-based community organisation. Formed in 2005, we are a company limited by guarantee. We are working to create a vibrant, sustainable Portobello that can help combat climate change and reduce fossil fuel use through a process of re-localisation and resilience.

This means, for example: growing more of our own food; generating our own energy; creating a wider range of jobs and leisure opportunities close to home, finding ways to get to ‘zero waste’… By creating a sustainable local economy, we’ll all get more out of living here – and help the planet at the same time.
