Welcome to...

Welcome to Sustainable Bungay's website. SB was formed as a result of a local conference on Climate Change in November 2007 and became a member of the Transition Towns network a few months later. To read about the events and activities we have organised so far please click on the links in the sidebar on the left.

If you'd like to hear - or help shape - Sustainable Bungay's future plans please do contact us. You can send us an email by clicking the right hand box To find out more about peak oil, climate change, the Transition Network and other Transition Communities have a look at the TT links in the menu side bar. Transition Norwich also have a very clear summary of peak oil.

Below is an outline of our current plan of action - it doesn't stay still for long and obviously there isn't much detail here, it should give a general idea though;

1) Awareness Raising

To host and run talks, workshops and film screenings on the issues of climate change and peak oil.

To network and engage with local businesses, schools and community organisations.

To benchmark Bungay's carbon footprint.

To develop the Sustainable Bungay website and on-line community resources.

To hold a 'Car Free' day at the end of September (22nd)

2) Building towards the release of 'Transition Town' Bungay

To work with the Bungay Community Partnership to develop and run a Visioning Day that will help shape the town plan

To continue to host and run talks, workshops and film screenings on the issues of climate change and peak oil.

To continue to network and engage with local businesses and community organisations.

To unleash 'Sustainable Bungay' – a Transition Town

To hold Bungay's first 'BIG Green Street Market'

To create sub-groups (e.g. food, energy, waste etc.) and dissolve the Core Group.

To re-measure Bungay's carbon footprint.

To continue to develop the Sustainable Bungay website and on-line community resources.

3) Sustainable Bungay: a Transition Town

Of course it is to early to know what this will be like or what it will involve - other than the creation of an energy descent plan, a good example from Kinsale in Ireland can be found here. The sub-groups will set the course and already there are a multitude of ideas.
