Ecological building and living practices are the blueprint to a

vital life and a sustainable future.

These principles have been described in many ways, and are

worth repeating:

Reduce energy consumption, and use renewable energy sources

Energy efficient appliances, solar and wind energy, wood for heating

Use local materials, and materials produced using minimal embodied energy

Catchment systems for rainwater, grey water for gardening

Composting, recycling, re-using

Be on the land within the earth’s equilibrium, protect the environment.
