November 15 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm

I’m dreaming of a Green Christmas 

Could you do Christmas without Amazon? In the main, Christmas is a time for gathering, for enjoying time with loved ones, enjoying great food, for rest and reflection on the year.

But our society also promotes Christmas as a time for spending, for commercialisation, for excess and for waste, with negative environmental consequences. Could this Christmas be more regenerative, more local, more ethical, more respectful of planetary boundaries?

November’s Climate Kitchen presents to you the Dumfries Climate Conscious Christmas market!

Featuring:

  • Lean Bean – Christmas cake and delicious foods
  • Flourish – ethical, local and biodegradable gifts and decorations
  • Kilnford Barns Christmas tree rental
  • Galloway Food Hub – a local, organic Christmas dinner
  • Kitchen Witch – skincare made from nature
  • The art of Furushiki – or wrapping gifts with reusable fabrics

Arrive from 5pm. Event running alongside the Christmas Lights switch-on on the High Street.

Glaciers in the Stove Cafe

FORTUNA | FOGGYDOG | CHILD’S | SOCKS | DENNISTOUN | ANT HILL | BYRD | LEONARDO | DECEPTION | CREVASSE | PINE ISLAND | POLAR TIMES | SHAMBLES | SHARK FIN | UTOPIA | ZEPHYR | ROSE VALLEY | MYKLEBUSTBREEN | KUTIAH LUNGMA | KING OSCAR | SUN | SALMON | SILVERTHRONE | RADIANT | CHAOS | CROWFOOT | FOX | GREY | HELHEIM

There are 178,000* glaciers currently around the world. How many of them can you name?

People name things for lots of reasons; to claim ownership, to map, to locate, to commemorate or congratulate, to know or mark a time, or a place or a landscape.

In the naming of things we gain familiarity. It is easier to image a glacier called Foggydog, than one without a name.

If we can’t name them, how will we miss them when they are gone?

At the moment, 10% of land area on Earth is covered with glacial ice, including glaicers, ice camps and ice sheets. Glacial ice store about 69% of the world’s fresh water, if all land ice melted, sea level would rise by approximately. 70 metres worldwide.

Glacial ice often appears blue when it becomes very dense. Years of compression gradually make the ice denser over time, forcing out the tine air pockets between crystals.

Since the early 20th Century, glaciers around the world have been retreating at unprecedented rates. Many are retreating so rapidly that they may vanish within a matter of decades. Glaciers are considered among the most sensitive indicators of climate change as they are so affected by long term climatic change such as precipitation, mean temperature and cloud cover.

In the Stove cafe as part of our Christmas decorations, we have christened over 80 of our festive baubles ceremoniously after some of our favourite glacier names, alongside the co-ordinates so you can look them up yourself. Pop in for a closer look.
