Thursday Sep 17, 2020
Thursday Sep 17, 2020
A side effect of Covid has been a dramatic increase in new outdoors people. When you aren't allowed to travel and do your usual summer activities it is natural that people will head outside where it is easy to social distance. With this influx of new outdoor users come a number of new challenges. In this episode we aim to help educate people on principles of Leave No Trace, animal issues and how to poop in the woods. No one is born knowing how to behave in the outdoors so give a listen and learn how to be a good steward of our wild places.

Ep. 41 - Collingwood Earthship - Matt Code

Not all adventures are in the forest. In this episode we talk to Matt Code who built his very own earth ship in Collingwood, Ontario. After an afternoon of mountain biking we sat down in his dining room to talk about what an earth ship is and what it is like to have a low impact sustainable home. From reusing rainwater and storing the heat of the sun in the walls to generating electrical power with solar panels, his home is home is as close to being off the grid as it can while still being located in town. Interested in passing on the skills and knowledge he has gained, Matt has built a community both online and in real life of people interested in learning how to build their own sustainable homes and grow their own food.
Give a listen to learn how our homes can change our environmental impact.
