info_stand_web.JPGCzech Climate Advocates expressed active support for the organisers of Eco festival Seven Miracles in Krasna lipa in the last weekend of September 2009. On Saturday, Tomas Miler introduced his project which aspires to contribute to solving the energy crisis in Western Kenya, Africa. The main idea of his attempt is to teach local farmers to produce enough wood to cover their needs as well as to decrease their wood consumption while cooking on open fires. The project, therefore, supports the use of stoves and solar cookers. Sunday afternoon was dedicated to climate friendly educational activities and games for the public. Visitors to the festival could learn how long it takes for different kinds of trash to decompose; talk about ecological means of travelling or prove their knowledge while completing a climate quiz.
Czech Climate Advocates are especially dedicated to educational activities and awareness raising in their project ideas.
