Our environment

• Share needed resources such as vehicles, workshop space and washing machines.
• Recycle metal, glass, paper, cans and plastic, and we compost food waste.
• Run small scale wind turbines and solar cells providing electricity to individuals' spaces.
• Produce food of our own, reducing the 'food miles' to zero.
• Use heating primarily by wood burners. Burning wood (biomass) is 'carbon neutral' as well as making use of wood that might otherwise be wasted.
• Use of friendly materials such as recycled wood and environmentally-friendly paints.
• Volunteering many hours a week through the Charity on local projects.
