• Set up a garden at the school
• Create a community directory for cottage industry so people know who is doing what.
• Electric cars – build your own?
• Biodiesel cars – build your own?
• Biodiesel fuel – is it a good alternative? What are the laws affecting it and can they be changed? Do we want to experiment with using biodiesel?
• Make bike paths and horse friendly roads
• Generate electricity locally – wind, solar, hydro, geothermal?
• Our water supply - self sustaining energy source for water
• Learn to build homes and other buildings out of renewable, natural or recycled material.
• Learn to build homes that use less energy to heat and cool, making use of passive solar design and natural building materials that offer cost savings and greater insulation.
• Have re-skill-ing workshops to learn how to do things like: make cheese, preserve food, sewing, spinning, weaving and other handcrafts. Using hand tools, building natural homes, wild edibles, mushrooms, care for chickens and much more.
• Education and raising awareness about climate change and oil decrease. Get speakers, show videos. Offer programs.
