The Climate Garden is for people concerned with climate change, and its impact on an individual, local community, and global level.
You are worried about the liveability in your region or on the planet as a whole but you are not sure how to talk about your concerns, or whom to talk to;
You are wondering what action you can take - individually or collectively - to impact climate change, such as decreasing your household’s carbon footprint, building up skills to become more self-sufficient or advocating for action on climate change to local, state, or (inter)national politicians;
You are curious about climate justice, degrowth and systemic change;
You are interested in discussing these or other climate-related topics.
This is a community of practice, not a lecture, nor an informational meeting. It is not about guilt trips. It is also not a group for debating whether climate change is human-induced or not- we take that as a given, based on overwhelming scientific evidence.
Our activities for 2022 will include:
Furthermore we will also have meetups for developing and exchanging self-sufficiency skills like urban gardening, upcycling, woodworking, repairing bikes, composting, preserving food.
All are welcome, regardless of age, gender, race, orientation, immigration status, experience, or knowledge, or carbon-footprint.
Lots of things to do and lots of things to reflect on. In this case, there is no doing without thinking, and no thinking without doing!
Join us to meet people and learn new skills that are kinder for our planet AND can save you money!
Homebase for these activities is De Kaskantine, currently being built by volunteers in Slotervaart, Amsterdam.

2022 - Book discussion- "Thrive - Fundamentals For A New Economy"
|
Tackling climate change will be impossible without rethinking our current economic system. Aligning our society with climate goals will require changing how we work, consume, invest, and much more. There are many proposals for how we can rethink the economy, from doughnut economic models to degrowth.
Rather than racing through a bunch of books, we've decided to take our time and try to explore these ideas in more depth. Over the course of 2022, we will read the book Thrive: Fundamentals for a New Economy.... |
Would you like to volunteer to organise a meetup about a specific climate topic? Or would you like to engage in educational activities concerning the climate or new economies? Or do you have specific knowledge that would help to deal with climate related problems and you are wondering if you could team up with us? Please fell free to contact us!
