Eden Mills Going Carbon Neutral presents the documentary Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective on Feb. 19 at 7pm at the Eden Mills Community Hall. Admission is by donation.
This full-length documentary explores the many environmental and agricultural issues facing people today and examines solutions that are being applied using the ecological design process called permaculture.
Permaculture is a design lens that uses the principles found in ecosystems to help shift human impact from destructive to regenerative.
Inhabit provides an intimate look at permaculture peoples and practices in rural, suburban, and urban landscapes. Permaculture is defined many different ways, but it is generally defined as a method of ecological design that develops regenerative agricultural systems by mimicking natural ecosystems.
Eden Mills Going Carbon Neutral was launched in 2007.
This small community of 350 aims to be the first in North America to go carbon neutral.
Net proceeds will support the ongoing energy retro-fit of the Community Hall. Improvements made over the past four years have already reduced the hall’s carbon emissions by 63 per cent.
Village household emissions have decreased by almost 20% through conservation, retro-fitting and tree planting.
