from the latest Renew magazine Based in Melbournes south west suburbs, Transition Hobsons Bay started in 2010. Our activities weave a web of community connections and help to build more resilient and sustainable neighbourhoods. We have started monthly fruit and vegie swaps in Newport, Williamstown and Altona. We celebrate the equinoxes and Winter solstice with shared meals. Among our other activities in 2014 are: Eco and Social Entrepreneurs workshop (won an award from Sustainable Living Festival); creating art about our waterways culminating in an exhibition; free herbal teas at a bushdance (fresh herbs from local gardens); reskilling workshops (bike maintenance for kids, sourdough bread and passata); and bulk buys of eco toilet paper. A focus in the next few months will be upcycling and recycling. Of course, we have an online presence too, with a particularly strong Facebook group. We have lots of fun and show ourselves and others that meeting our needs locally neednt cost the earth. Renew 129 p64 What an awesome mob!
