Kardokai ecovillage in Lithuania. I’d marked the village on the map but hadn’t got in touch beforehand. When I call the ecovillage’s number Raimundas picks up the phone. I explaine what I am up to, that I am in the neighborhood and that I’d love to come and say hello.
To my surprise, Raimundas is happy to make time to show me round the ecovillage. When I arrive he offers me the guest house for the night and invites me for lunch. https://cyclingfortheplanet.net/index.php/2026/06/21/ecovillage-kardokai/

This afternoon's bike trip was a 37 km round trip in one hour and ten minutes to collect a 20 kg sack of "greensand" olivine for the garden.
I think it's a good example of the efficiency of velomobiles: how they make human power even more effective than when riding a normal bike. Even on the return journey with a headwind and loaded with the sack of sand, it was easy to keep the speed above 35 km/h.
Being able to stow a lot of things inside the aerodynamic form of the bike helps a lot with efficiency. You feel extra weight when accelerating, not so much once you get going.
And why the olivine ? I calculated a few weeks back that in the worst case this last winter our heating could have emitted 105 kg of CO2. This sack is enough to absorb about a fifth of that amount from the atmosphere.
Each time we plant things indoors or in our garden we add a bit of olivine.
Once humanity (especially those of us in the highly emitting richer countries) has reduced emissions by a lot, it's possible to make a bit of a dent by using a product like this. But there's no chance of compensating for ever larger emissions by trying to mine ever larger amounts of olivine.
