Advice People and communities inter-ested in utilising renewable energy can find it hard to track down unbiased information. Most advice is tailored towards industry consumption or based on an attempt to sell. NEF Renewables will explain how renewable energy can be applied in the home, garden, farm, or community building, and whether there are any grants available.
All advice is well-informed and impartial.
Eco Forest has recently established Europe's first raw food permaculture and forest garden community project in southern Spain. In the first months the project has planted a forest garden, dug swales, researched drought tolerant, soil improving plants and trees and built low impact dwellings. The project is alcohol, smoking and drug free, and free of domesticated animals. Visitors can discover how good this feels, and meet people who have eaten this way for years. Ecoforest has a vision for five more Eco Forest projects around the world by 2003, and many more after that.
