Our Place Our Planet
Launched by Transition Exmouth and Exmouth Town Council, in 2020, Our Place Our Planet.org is a one-stop-shop website to help you make changes right now to a more sustainable lifestyle.
Partnership with Exmouth Town Council
Transition Exmouth sits on the
Climate and Ecological Emergency Working Group at Exmouth Town Council.
The purpose of the Working Group is to ensure that Exmouth Town Council responds appropriately to the climate and ecological emergency and plays its part in working towards a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and other environmental threats.
Library of Things
Ever wondered why we all need a drill, a wallpaper table, a gazebo or a sewing machine EACH? Why can't we just share and save the Earth's resources?
Launched in 2021 by a partnership between Transition Exmouth, the Library of Things group and Littlemead Methodist Church,
Exmouth Library of Things is a
treasure trove!
Email Transition Exmouth or Exmouth Library of Things if you'd like to know more.
New volunteers always welcome.
ExeCargo
Shared eCargo Bikes for Exmouth
Transition Exmouth's ExeCargo bikes are here to prove that an eCargo bike can do as
much as a car - and more.
They are available for hire for just £10 a week, to Exmouth businesses, community groups
and individuals.
You can borrow an eCargo bike for
a week or longer.
We have a Raleigh Stride and a Tern GSD.

Litter Blitzers
Litter Blitzers aim to reduce the amount of litter in our town, whether on the street, public space, country lane or beach. This group incorporates Clean Street Exmouth which facilitates people joining with neighbours to keep their own street clear of litter.
Litter Blitzers organise litter blitzes where they spend about an hour in a group cleaning an area or a country lane.
Go to the Litter Blitzer's Facebook page to find out more, or contact Roger at the Litter Blitzer's via email.

Active Travel Exmouth
Active Travel Exmouth is a new group campaigning locally for better provision for walking and cycling. Walking or cycling around our town eases congestion, reduces pollution and is good for us. There are lots of paths and cut-throughs you may not know about in the town - have a look at the Active Travel Exmouth website or email Active Travel Exmouth for more information.
Response to planning
Many of our members want to respond to Planning Applications, but find the process can be unwieldy and confusing. Transition members, Health Nickels and Jan Gannaway have written an excellent guide which helps you link your appeal to evidence, in law or local policy, to support and strengthen your argument and be a voice for nature.
Friends of the River Exe
Friends of the River Exe (FORE) is a voice for the river, bringing together the diverse grass roots organisations and people who live, work and play along the Exe and its tributaries – to protect, restore and celebrate our river.
