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.

In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing (NEB) brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to over 1200 politicians, business leaders and representatives from faith, sport, and media in Westminster. That evidence is now on the public record and a film version has been created to bring together people in local communities across the UK along with local leaders to hear the evidence and discuss how to respond.![]()
On Wednesday 27 May 2026 the University of Derby Buxton in partnership with Transition Buxton CIC will host a screening of the 50 minute NEB film at the Devonshire Dome at 7pm followed by a discussion panel, finishing at 8:30pm. The panel includes Professor Chris Sansom, the University’s theme lead on Zero Carbon, and Dr Polina Baranova, Associate Professor of Strategy & Sustainability, who work at the cutting edge of environmental research and education.![]()
This is an excellent opportunity to hear the latest science and evidence about the interconnected nature and climate crisis, and to discuss what and how we can respond globally, nationally, locally and individually. The briefing highlights threats to health, the economy, food, energy and national security leading to the suggestion of a WW2 scale of emergency response. You can form your own opinion and consider how you will choose to respond to these threats. ![]()

We had great fun at Buxton spring fair today with our PopUp ReUse stall selling loads of great stuff saved from going to waste. Great to hear the enthusiasm for 2nd hand treasures and to see loads of people snapping up bargains, particulaly the children, some of whom were able to buy things with their own pocketmoney. Thanks to all the volunteers and customers who made it a really excellent day.
