Latest climate change report released

Posted on by Standard Reply

The latest report from the IPCC (Intergovenmental Panel on Climate Change) is out.

The summary can be viewed here.

Key points raised are the threat to human life and the widespread consequences that will effect everyone on the planet. We are in this boat together, and it is sinking. The message is loud and clear that business as usual will kill us.

It is time for culture change not climate change.

If you are taking action, share your experiences with us. If you’d like to join with others to help you act we’d love to help. There are solutions everywhere we look. Our generation has a closing window of opportunity to protect life.

First trial walk!

Posted on by Standard Reply

A little sore on the hips and shoulders but a great walk in the Cotswolds getting to know each other and preparing for the Buzz Tour. Definitely need to pack lighter for those hills! We had fantastic weather and some beautiful views. The villagers of Ratley were fantastic and particularly friendly!

Some of the Buzz Tour walkers have started getting in shape and wanted to do a longer practice walk to prepare themselves. If you’d like to join us, get in touch!

The first will be the 29th and 30th of March in the Cotswolds. The second will be the 5th and 6th of April in and around Oxford. We’ll be practicing our orienteering, camping and visiting a few great projects.

Update on The Buzz Tour

bags and poiOur crowdfunding campaign has raised £115 so far, help us reach our goal of £500 by donating. The lovely Buzz Tour bags have arrived if you’d like to donate and claim one! Other lovely perks are available too.

The tour will officially start from Totnes on the 19th of April.

Yesterday two of us walked in support of the Oxford Reclaim the Night women’s march against violence. On three occasions men along the way harassed the 50 women and were greeted by a chorus of ‘stop the march!’ and all the women turning to point and shout at the abusers. A very empowering and effective technique!

In the picture above are Eve’s bee poi. During the walk Eve will be teaching poi spinning for free. We’ve also had offers from people to teach legal observing, mindfulness, foraging and conflict resolution. Please let us know if you have a skill to share. 🙂

Keep smiling.
