 ==== Eva Peeters ====
+Part of the [[gent plant people]]
 Eva is involved with many wonderful Gent initiatives around plants, food production and sustainable living. Her family recently moved into a new ‘passive solar’ house in Gentbrugge built by her partner. The passive solar design utilises heat from the sun to keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer. The house is on an old industrial site and was part of a program run by the government providing subsidy for young families to buy land and build a house. The same architect designed 5 houses on Eva’s street, 3 of which are passive solar. Eva has a wonderful wild looking garden with pots and trees everywhere, and she has started to grow lots of root vegetables and a beautiful living willow sculpture. And she has a lovely tomato plant growing in her kitchen by the big window.

 Eva is also involved with a car sharing group called ‘de Gage’, where car owners let other locals access their car as long as they pay for the petrol and mileage. It was obvious that Eva is very concerned about the environment and her green footprint. It didn’t surprise me at all when she told me she was involved with the Transition movement.
-She is a member of Transition Midveld, the regional Transition collective. Transition is a worldwide movement where communities shift to local solutions around climate change issues, problems associated with economic hardship and a desire for less reliance on peak oil and other natural resources. Eva is involved with pushing policy change and linking communities together, and she is helping to organisine the Transition conference in October at [[Vooruit]]. They are presenting 26 sessions, including panels on car sharing, energy for housing, and sustainable food systems.

 It was great to meet Eva and see how much positive change that one person can make for their family and their community.
