Welcome to Day 5 of the Big Green Blog Gathering, an online replacement for the cancelled Big Green Gathering with music, talks, workshops and food. On Day 1 we looked at Water issues, Day 2 was all about Energy, Day 3 discussed Transport and Day 4 Waste.
On the music stage today we have Breaking Laces with Global Warming Day.

Although this would have been the last day of the Big Green Gathering, the good news is that the Big Green Blog Gathering is not limited by time, space or money! It can happen anywhere, all though the year! If you have links and ideas for inclusion then don’t forget to email them to me. I am organizing the Permaculture Area of the Big Green Blog Gathering, but the Big Green Gathering had lots of different areas planned, so feel free to host your own Blog Green Gathering Area and let everyone know what’s going on there!
