Permaculture will shift your perspective on the world. For us, It’s made one thing crystal clear: Every action we take is a choice. Should we buy fruit shipped from another continent or opt for locally grown? Should we toss out a pair of socks or spend 5 minutes mending them? These daily choices add up and make a significant impact.
Your daily choices have a huge impact on your wellbeing and the wellbeing of
our planet. Ready to assess your sustainability efforts?

How many Earths do you need to sustain your lifestyle? Too many? We are here to help you to minimize your carbon footprint.
Your carbon footprint is a measure of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), and other carbon-based compounds that result from your daily activities and lifestyle choices. It represents the environmental impact your actions have on our planet’s atmosphere, affecting its delicate balance.
The significance of your carbon footprint cannot be overstated, as it is intricately intertwined with the overarching issue of climate change.
Every time we engage in the excessive consumption of energy derived from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, or partake in the consumption of food that has traversed vast distances, we inadvertently unleash a multitude of gases into the Earth’s atmosphere. These gases function like an insulating blanket, ensnaring heat and thereby catalyzing the inexorable ascent of global temperatures.
Climate change has diverse and far-reaching effects that touch upon many facets of our environment, society, and economy. These effects include the rise in extreme weather events, the spread of diseases, challenges in agriculture leading to food shortages and increased prices, the loss of biodiversity, and more.
Understanding your carbon footprint is the first step towards a more sustainable future. It's a measure of your impact on the planet, and by reducing it, you can be part of the solution to climate change. Our resources are your companions on this journey, offering support for small changes with significant impacts.
