Celebrate International Compost Awareness Week with Us! This week, we're spotlighting Gary Gandel, a local champion for sustainable food systems! Gary has been instrumental in establishing new gardens around Walnut Hills that utilize composting to grow fresh produce. These gardens then donate their produce to organizations that feed the community. Gary's dedication exemplifies the power of compost to nourish not just the soil, but also those in need. Want to learn more about Gary's inspiring work? Check out this article from La Soupe, Inc.: bit.ly/3y7PTmJ

The tourist tax is a hot topic of debate as Edinburgh pushes on with plans to be the first part of Scotland to introduce the charge. But what do other cities around the world do? From an incredible, two-mile, underground beer pipeline to dedicated arts funds, an academy for pastry chefs to smart marketing, we took a look at how some of the world's top tourist destinations use the funds they raise. There's plenty of food for thought for Edinburgh from promoting the city to high-spending visitors, supporting the arts and heritage, protecting the environment and tackling social inequality. https://lnkd.in/e8Z9WDft

Greetings! This Earth.org article exposes the hidden costs of cheap meat and dairy: government subsidies. There's a reason their prices do not go high as they should be, reflecting the tremendous cocts these industries incur on the environment. These subsidies distort market prices, making animal products artificially cheap and encouraging overconsumption. The environmental consequences are significant, with animal agriculture contributing heavily to greenhouse gas emissions. The article calls for a shift away from subsidies and towards a more sustainable food system. Keep following to learn more about how #cultivatedmeat can help change the tide in the struggle for a cleaner environment. https://lnkd.in/e8gqZ34e #SupportSustainableFood #PlantBased #RegenerativeAgriculture

Earth Hour is happening tonight! The annual event encourages individuals, communities, and businesses to turn off non-essential electric lights, for one hour from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time, usually on the last Saturday of March, as a symbol of commitment to the planet. This year, instead of merely turning off your nonessential lights for an hour, we’re challenging you to give an hour to Earth by doing something positive for the environment. Here are a few ways you can give an hour for Earth: - Take part in an outdoor excursion - Donate to protect nature - Explore your local outdoor space - Participate in a nature cleanup - Create arts and crafts from recycled or discarded plastic - Visit an exhibit or museum focused on the environment - Start a compost - Create a zero-waste meal - Meditate with nature - Grow a plant or create a garden Learn how you can give an hour for Earth and make a lasting impact at earthhour.org.

🆕 The future (of festivals) is reducing: Chefs on Fire II is here 🎪 LOHAD - the creators behind Chefs on Fire, is back to finance the first edition of Chefs on Fire Madrid. Yes, the festival is going international! The promoter set on a mission of "sustainable hedonism", which means downsizing festivals' capacity to make them genuinely sustainable and reduce massively their #carbonfootprint. The funds raised will:  🎟️ Co-finance the first edition of Chefs on Fire Madrid; 💪 Support for hiring a positive impact consultant and developing a project to measure the event's impacts; 🌱 Implement initiatives on responsible food, energy and emissions, water and sanitation, mobility and transportation, and biodiversity and community; 📰 Support for media trips by international journalists. The event in Madrid goes beyond what you may expect from a sustainable festival, from composting stations to a reforestation program to plant trees, empowering the local economy through vendors and other supplies, and so much more that you can find through the direct link in the comments below 👇
