Meet your MP at Perivale Wood

Saturday 15th October 

Ealing residents have the chance to walk in the woods and ask our MPs to protect the people and places you love from climate change. The event will take place from 3pm to 5pm and Steve Pound, Virendra Sharma and Rupa Huq will all be attending. By joining them for discussion over a cup of tea, you can show what you believe in.

Schools Solar Project

Two Ealing junior schools, Castlebar and Grange, are the first to benefit from a solar programme which is a joint venture between Ealing Transition, Ealing Council, and the Schools Energy Co-operative. Ealing Transition members have invested directly in the initiative, which offers schools cheaper electricity and reductions in carbon emissions. Over the 20-year life of the project, the two schools are expected to save about £40,000 and £20,000 respectively.
Ealing Transition initiated this project because we believe that the future of energy is clean, decentralised and generated where it is consumed. Generating our own power makes us more resilient, and also reduces our dependence on fossil fuels, which cause climate change. Also, London has a real problem with air quality, so clean energy is a great way to reduce this.
With changes to interest rates and the rapid reduction in the cost of renewables, we think local schemes like these can only become more attractive.

Pizza Day

Saturday September 10th, 1:00 – 4:00pm

Next Saturday Ealing Transition Community Garden will fire up its home-made pizza oven for another Pizza Day!

Home-made pizza will be cooked in the afternoon and other refreshments will also be available. Come and look around our allotment site and have a drink, a nibble and a chat. 

If you are interested in gardening and want to help out with digging, sowing, planting and harvesting, you’re also welcome to come along to one of our ‘plot days’. Click here for more information.
