Excursion/lectures The Small Earth
Description
This time a special invitation for you and your partner!
De Kleine Aarde is one of the oldest environmental organisations in the Netherlands. It is the only national organisation with its own Eco-park of almost 3 hectares, where you will find not only inspiration and information, but also the concrete products and services that can make a sustainable lifestyle possible and even attractive.
The name 'Kleine Aarde' refers to the prediction by The Club of Rome in 1972 that our earth would slowly but surely become too small, given the growth of the world population and the rapid increase in consumption. First, the quarterly magazine 'De Kleine Aarde' came out and a year later the project got off the ground in Boxtel: a testing ground for sustainable production and consumption. That is now De Kleine Aarde's Eco-park where everyone can find inspiration for a sustainable lifestyle. More information can be found at www.dekleineaarde.nl (follow the link above behind 'Location')
