Cultivating Connections: July Climate Bites at Leith Community Croft!
This July, ECCAN is thrilled to invite you to a special edition of our Climate Bites community networking lunch, set to blossom at Earth in Common's Leith Community Croft. Prepare for an afternoon where good food meets great conversation, all within a vibrant hub of local environmental innovation.
More than just a delicious, complimentary meal, this gathering is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the incredible work of Earth in Common. If you haven't yet discovered this hidden gem in the heart of Leith, you're in for a treat. Earth in Common is a remarkable charitable organisation deeply committed to fostering a more sustainable and equitable world, right here in Edinburgh. Their ethos revolves around promoting responsible global citizenship over consumerism, championing intrinsic values over extrinsic ones, and advocating for the crucial principles of food sovereignty.
At the heart of their local efforts is the Leith Community Croft, a testament to what's possible when a community comes together with a shared vision. This isn't just a garden; it's a living, breathing example of urban food production, biodiversity, and community engagement. From their thriving market garden, providing fresh, local produce, to their educational programmes connecting children with nature, Earth in Common embodies a holistic approach to environmental stewardship. They demonstrate how local action can contribute significantly to global well-being, challenging the conventional consumer mindset and empowering individuals to become active participants in shaping a better future.
By stepping into their welcoming café and experiencing the croft firsthand, you’ll witness their dedication to improving the food system and strengthening community bonds – a powerful counter-narrative to the isolation often perpetuated by hypercapitalism.
