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.

At 300 bookings and a waiting list of another 30, the April conference is looking full of promise. It may well have ’competition’ at its opening, though, from the Extinction Rebellion crowd, two of whom […]
carbon bites – Travel
Establishing new travel a-l/t-titude It is the time to look back at 2018, to reflect on your travel patterns and offset carbon emissions – especially from flights. 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 […]

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. […]
