WHAT WE DO
Some of our Key Projects
An important part of managing our collective resources responsibly is the adage: Reduce, Reuse, Refill, Repair & Repurpose, Recycle.
The Buxton Library of Things provides affordable access to over 100 useful resources and things that you don’t need to own.
Plastic pollution is evident all around us, blighting our lanes, paths and hedgerows, ending up in waterways and contributing to climate change.
Energy is fundamental to our modern way of life. But energy – specifically fossil fuels – is the main driver of climate change.

How are your seedlings coming along? Remember to plant plenty and bring the extras to our annual Plant Swop Stall at Rotary Bazaar on 31 May. You can take away different plants in exchange for your contributions, or just donate them for others to grow on. If folks don't have plants to swap, they can donate cash (no prices). This is a great way to encourage budget gardeners and beginners, and to bring a bit more variety into your own garden.
Green Drinks this month is on Thursday at the Sun Inn on the High Street. Some visitors from a group setting up in Marple are coming over to meet and chat. If you've been part of Transition Buxton for a good while (we have been going for 17 years) they are interested in the history and evolution of our group to help inform theirs. Good excuse for a trip to the pub for a spot of local brew?
