Wao Summit: Waste not, want not.
We’re chucking way too much food in the bin. Whether it’s scraps or perfectly edible kai, burying food is an environmental catastrophe, and a waste of a powerful resource. So how can we put it to better use?
Wao Summit: Why offsetting is not the answer.
Offsetting: it’s the talk of town. Tick the green box, buy some carbon offsets. Make no other changes to business as usual. It’s almost too good to be true.
Wao Summit: We’ve just got to get out of the car.
To meet our emissions targets, we have to halve the amount of time we spend in our cars. For a little perspective, driving 500 metres in the car equates to roughly one kilogram of glacial ice melt. So how do we make them less seductive?
Degrowth: is this where capitalism comes to die?
Could less be more? This is an exploration of a bold new future. It’s chunky, so grab a cuppa.

Edible Earth Journal: How good soil helps our climate
We talk a lot about carbon these days. Too much up there, not enough under our feet. And yes, it’s super important to draw carbon from the atmosphere (where there’s an excess) and fix it into the ground instead. It’s fantastic, actually.
Edible Earth Journal: The world beneath our feet
Soil is the great enabler of life. An earthy substance that smells incredible and gets under your fingernails in the best way. Every gardener can attest to the mood-lifting qualities of putting their fingers in the dirt, and soil bacteria has actually been shown to stimulate the production of serotonin, one of our happy hormones.
