Knowledge Tree

A seedling · 3 offerings

What this Commons knows so far, woven into one read from Thoughtful Offerings. Offer something you know and where it comes from; once three members vouch for it, it's woven in.

Communities can act on climate together, by repairing things rather than throwing them out and by owning their own wind and solar power.

What works

Repair cafés bring volunteers with fixing skills together with neighbours each month. They repair broken things together, for free.1

In a community-owned renewable energy co-operative, locals pool small investments to own a wind or solar project together. The power, the profits and the decisions all stay in the community.2

Open questions

Both approaches rest on neighbours sharing skills or money, but how much each one cuts emissions is not yet described. Places, projects and results where these have been done are a gap worth filling.1,2

    Legal rights to manage, use and earn from forests go to organised local communities, which then protect them better than many parks do.
