An Update on The Carbon Almanac

climate· projects· things to share

25 May
A top-down view of my The Carbon Almanac notebook surrounded by other stationery items on a wooden desk surface. The notebook cover is decorated with a map sticker and a typewritten label and held closed with a black skeleton clip. A Muji gel pen sits atop the notebook. To the left is a black pencil case with a bead and tassel zipper pull. To the right is a date stamp, a card of washi samples and two black and white, science themed sticker sheets. Above the notebook is a houseplant and a white coffee mug on a white macramé coaster.

The Carbon Almanac project is starting to focus on the book launch date, currently set for July 16, 2022. But as you may know, the supply chain around paper (and therefore book publishing) has been struggling in the last couple of years. And that is still the case, so we wait and keep our fingers crossed.

But there’s a lot more happening within this project than just the book. So this is an update on other media that’s being produced in tandem with the book, and is already available.

The Carbon Almanac Supplementary media

  1. Website: You can find it here. Pre-order a copy of the book while you’re there. Scroll down to see a video, a link to find all of us who worked on the project (“Meet the Contributors”), quotes and more.
  2. Curated Resources: This is in the top menu bar of the website, and is what I’ve been mostly working on the last couple of months. Tell me if you find a mistake or something’s not working! For most of us, a great starting place is this section called Read, Watch, Listen, Act. I’m making my way through the list, and here’s a few I can highly recommend:
    • Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
    • The Biggest Little Farm (I watched it on Netflix)
    • Minimum Viable Planet from Sarah Lazarovic
  3. Educator’s Guide: I had a tiny hand in this project too. I did one round of proofreading, and sat with one of my favourite teachers to go through it and get some solid feedback. It’s a set of full lesson plans with resources, activities, worksheets and more. The guide hasn’t made its way to being publicly available yet. But, insider info, if you know a K-12 educator who could make use of a climate teaching resource like this, here’s the link to download it.
  4. Email: You can subscribe to our email called The Daily Difference. It delivers daily, bite-sized bits of inspiration, education, and action towards making our planet a better place. For example, a recent email gave information about the importance of wetlands in sequestering carbon, with a link to this short video.

Lots of media to take in, but I’ll still be very excited to hold a copy of the book in my hands.

A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these ar A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these are some blank pages in the back of my planner and I’m flipping back through the months and weeks to document the things I started, finished, loved or hated, was blessed with or overcame.  I’ve set up space for 20 things (because 2020) but if I feel like turning the page and writing more I will. There are no rules to journaling. Wishing you all a lovely few more days of this year. 🤍

Earlier this year I made a commissioned piece for a virtual healing circle.  I was honored to contribute to such a beautiful and necessary event.  It’s now many months later ... but in the midst of pandemic and holidays and lockdown, it’s still important that Black lives matter.
