Park Ecovillage Trust findhorn Carbon Strategy

Carbon Strategy

As the climate crisis intensifies, PET offers accessible tools that clarify how carbon emissions are generated, how they can be reduced, and how offsetting can be accurately measured.

Caring Community

Creating a model of community that supports every stage of life, an exemplary culture of care from cradle to grave.

What does the Park Ecovillage Trust do? How was it building the new Light of Findhorn Sanctuary?
Amanda Haworth, Chair of PET, answers these questions and more in this 30 minute recording.

Affordable Housing – Community owned

For the last 10 years the need for affordable housing has been highlighted in many ways:

Young people and families, leaving Findhorn Ecovillage for lack of a ‘suitable’ home

Long-term community members richly deserve secure homes for their retirement years

Carbon Strategy
& Offsetting

In the imminent climate crisis PET offers two tools: One that measures individual and business carbon emissions and carbon offsetting to balance emissions that have been reduced. PET is also leading the work in the community to become net zero.

Caring Community Circle

Creating an exemplary caring community culture from cradle to grave.

The CCC holds the awareness of the needs of people of all ages in the Community and links volunteers and other resources to those in need.
