Firstly, Happy Easter season to you! In a rare conjunction, three major holidays of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are occurring at the same time this year. So why don’t we emphasise the positive blessings of UNITY in a way which precludes just evangelism and one-way dialogue, but makes the most of both by way of […]
Net0.30 study Grant
Great news about the Findhorn Ecovillage Community Net0.30 study and PETs 2021 National Lottery Grant application. Here’s the press release: Great news, but stuff doesn’t stop there– ie. with other people offering a climate action smorgasbord for you not to pick and choose from…😱 Remember Gandhi’s statement about “Happiness is when what you think, what […]
Buy food locally
“Happy” COP26! Everybody. Buying local produce (20-50km radius) is carbon emission decreasing, it’s keeping disposable income within our local economy, it’s investing in our own county. Is this new thinking? No. It was pre-industrial UK reality, and M.K. Gandhi successfully advocated the social, economic and political advantages of manufacturing & consuming only local products already […]

Fifty major cities, mostly in Asia, would need to mount “globally unprecedented defenses” to survive, they found, while many small island nations face near-total loss of […]

For both our planet and these guys: 6 walkers are going to make the 500 mile journey from London to Glasgow, on foot, in the run-up to COP26 in November. This group is going to be raising awareness of local climate action all along the […]
Flooding CO2emissions
On the initiative of the World Weather Attribution (WWA), an international team has made a first attribution study to answer the question whether the risk of severe weather due to climate change, such as the heavy rainfall of 14 and 15 July, has increased. The floods started in the United Kingdom as flash floods causing […]
SUPPORT in action
Great News on the CARBON OFFSETTING front! These last years have been hard on our Community’s offsetting results: for whatever reason — and we’d LOVE to know what these are — less and less offsets have been purchased, while lockdown-life (eg. home heating, lighting and shopping car/bus costs) has simply gone on, if not increased […]
