things to do at earthshot

take an ounce of bamboo with you


End Plastic Utensils, Bags, Cups

A lightweight kit of go-anywhere, anti-microbial, always clean bamboo utensils means you can be chic and plastic-free for all your takeout, food court or food truck meals.

Also, enjoy your food & beverages – without the feel of plastic in your mouth. Kicker: disposable plastics for your lunches no longer need to be manufactured from petrochemicals. Or accumulating in oceans.

get a bin or bucket


Cut Methane Emissions

In the kitchen, separate your food scraps in a bowl, bin or bucket. Don’t put them in with other “trash.” When your food scraps go straight from your kitchen to a composting site, your trash won’t smell. Also, the scraps become compost that nourishes the soil of urban gardens, Kicker: the scraps will not go to landfill and become methane. Need help getting started? We compost and help others compost too.

have tea


Ground Yourself Locally

Instead of trying harder to do more by yourself, find an ally and have a soothing cup of tea. Turn the isolation dial counter-clockwise. Find your people and see them regularly, in a calm, sane spot.

Bamboo, our tea house at Earthshot Project, is a chill space for artists, merchants, practitioners in energy systems and food systems, and anyone ready to think about the future of our city in personal terms.
