Do carbon emissions confuse you? Can you reduce your carbon footprint
to the global average or the global allowance, and what is the
difference?Adelaide filmmaker Nick Graalman and his partner Jamie
Carter decided to find out and set out on a yearlong endeavour to
understand a range of issues and how (or even if) they could
drastically reduce their own footprint.
Treading Lightly documents their personal journey with the help and
guidance of local academics and activists including a food biologist,
ecologist, building designers, demographer, environmentalist and
geographer.
Every decision in their day to day lives is examined, logged and
researched. They explore the big 3: home, food and transport.
Everything from living with no heating or cooling to electric bikes,
food waste composting and retrofitting the home. They tackle trying to
carbon offset though a revegetation project, and for American born
Jamie, does she visit her family in America? And what to do with the
hardly used swimming pool that came with the house. After much
research and thinking, a novel solution was found.
Treading Lightly is an honest account of their endeavours and the
outcomes. Filmed at home and various locations around Adelaide,
Treading Lightly documents the year to October 2018. A year in an
hour. It presents practical ways to both understand and take control.
It has been a life changing year for Nick and Jamie and they warmly
invite you to take a peek into their lives.
