6 Degrees of Seperation

Six degrees of separation is a theory first introduced by Frigyes Karinthy. In a nut shell it suggests that everything and everyone is 6 links or fewer apart. In theory this means that you know six people who know six people who know six people......continuing like this we could cover every person on Earth.

This is a very good mindset to have when it comes to being environmentally friendly. Often people feel that they can not make a difference so that extra bottle they throw away or the extra plastic bag you ask for does not matter when in reality it does. If every person on earth used one less plastic bag than they usually do per week that would prevent almost seven billion bags from entering our landfills and oceans.....every week! Everybody contributes to the environment so each individual must also be held accountable. 

According to this theory if everyone told six people some very easy ways to reduce their carbon footprint it could be the start of something much bigger than the individual. That is why here at Toucheng Leisure Farm we try to spread environmental awareness with everyone we can. 

So what are we doing at the farm to help?


1) There are many sorted bins around the farm to make recycling super easy

2) The roads at the farm are built with stones and not concrete to allow life to thrive underneath

3) Food wastes are collected, fermented and used as fertilizers 

4) Tables and chairs are made from Floating Logs to protect forests

Fun Fact! Floating logs are logs that have been blown down by typhoons. They are not chopped. However you do need a permit to collect floating logs so not everyone can just get a truck and drag one home!
