[Eco-friendly initiatives n°2]: The association Les Terres d'Athes

As part of the article "All eco-friendly: the eco-responsible initiatives of the Alpinstore team", this time we find the association Les Terres d'Athes about their vegetarian eco-place located in Gironde. To equip yourself responsibly, discover our selection of outdoor products that respect the environment suitable for all your needs in nature.

" Les Terres d’Athes, what is it? A civic association, a common project, a desire for transition…
A willingness to test alternatives to our usual ways of life and to respond to a need, in respect of humans and the environment.
We want to create a place where we dare to undertake, experiment, and above all share!

A transition association, a social and economic project through a vegetarian eco-place and more concretely through awareness during festivals, participatory workshops to make this accessible to a wide audience
The activities:
- raise awareness about ecology, zero waste, and transition
- permaculture
- personal development
- animal rescue....

Many future projects, such as building a block wall, hammocks in trees, also sensitive to the respect of large spaces, in the mountains or at festivals like the natural games because the mountains have become democratized and people unfortunately respect them less and less.

A personal development "reconnection with nature": Hiking, meditation in nature, vegetarian cooking."

Les Terres d'Athes offers us some photos to illustrate their activities:

• A permaculture vegetable garden, creation of a composter for food scraps
• Greenhouse made from reclaimed materials (windows, shelves, etc.)

• Insect hotel, this installation allows for the development of diverse ecosystems, to facilitate the survival of insects.

• A zero waste travel kit with our homemade toothpaste recipe

• Dry toilets adapted for people with disabilities

• A pocket ashtray. [Did you know that a cigarette butt thrown in nature can pollute up to 500 liters of water? Hence the necessity to throw them directly in the trash!]

• Creation of an outdoor kitchen with reclaimed elements, solar lights, and a water collector

• Outdoor painting workshop with flour and natural pigments

• Christmas trees made from pallets
