Carbon Bites
Shrinking footprints. Walking lightly on the earth… Tips to avoid blisters
PET introduces Carbon Bites to keep up the good work of shrinking our carbon impact in the Ecovillage. In the Rainbow Bridge and here there'll be information bites: suggestions what to do, examples of what’s been done, reminders of what it takes to change one’s lifestyle. So that climate change doesn’t bite our heels because we walk too slowly. Everybody is welcome to share.
Send your text [email protected] to be put into the RBB (and here) under Carbon Bites.

The KG emission estimates shown are for direct flights. For multi-leg itineraries, they certainly underestimate the real emissions. The numbers presented on the map are based on research […]
carbon bites – Composting
Composting draws down carbon Have you seen the new bins opposite Cornelia’s? Eveline’s composting initiative Growing on Food Waste is an excellent example of how carbon can be sequestered and turned into soil. If you don’t do it already get a bin and start composting in your garden. Or go together and share a bin. […]
