Big Green Blog Gathering 2010: Transport Day

Related Posts with Thumbnails



Hello! Today is Day 3 of the Big Green Blog Gathering 2010 and our theme is the thorny issue of transport.

Today’s Renewable Energy Cinema is once again being hosted by the Emma & Pete Show, and the movie playing is all about permaculture hero Emilia Hazelip and her synergistic garden.

In the Permaculture Garden, the Alternative Kitchen Garden team are talking about Indoor Salads, a sure-fire way to reduce your food miles, even in winter and even if you don’t have a garden! And Ben Campbell will be joining us by video link to give us a tour of his amazing Himalayan veg patch, which is in the Pennines!

The cafe today is being run by the Eat Weeds team, who will be wowing your tastebuds with their Orach Tabouleh and Chick Chick Pate. You can also help yourself to PYO salad from the Permaculture Garden :)

Yesterday the Knitting Circle were discussing reusing yarn to be as green as possible. Today they’re in the Living Willow Dome looking at something far more exciting for green knitheads – sourcing ethical yarn!

Once the Knitting Circle gets down to the quiet business of knitting they will be joined by the lovely Almost Mrs. Average, who will regale them (and us) with entertaining stories from her experiences of car-free living.

The Big Green Flashmob are taking action with the Campaign for Better Transport today, championing transport solutions that improve people’s lives and reduce environmental damage.

The Permanent Publications crew are a bit hung over this morning, but as soon as the (fair trade!) coffee kicks in they will be back manning their book stall in the yurt. While you are at the BGBG (Monday 26th until Friday 30th July 2010), you can order the following three titles for at least) 25% off. Simply quote BIG GREEN BLOG GATHERING 25% OFF PRICE when you place an order either via email (orders@green-shopping.co.uk) or via telephone (01730 823 311):

As the sun sets the PP team will be making way for the Botanicals Bar crew, and this evening their special is good, old-fashioned ginger beer.


Tomorrow’s theme is Waste, and we’re focussing on Climate on Friday. If you have relevant links, or would like to contribute ideas for the Yurt, Permaculture Garden, Flashmob, Solar Cinema, Cafe or Botanicals Bar then email me :)
