Julie Rodwell, NWEBG member, author and urban planning/ transportation specialist, will be giving a talk about her forthcoming book: Tiny Footprints: Housing Ourselves Sustainably as We Grow and the Land Shrinks. Her theme is that part of our construction to accommodate growth and displaced people and businesses should be in new Tiny Carbon Footprint communities. In these places, just by living there, individual carbon footprints are much smaller. Such communities could be nestled in special areas inside city limits, or they could be on brand-new sites.
Tiny Footprint Communities are an essential, urgent part of the solution to the climate crisis. TCFCimage.jpg
