I would like to know if there is anyone interested in a sustainable living education center for the Tweed area. I have been doing research and have many ideas, but the ‘red tape’for getting grants and funding is intimidating. I need help with the business aspects. The actual building process I can figure out, but getting all the permits and zoning reg’s figured out may be out of my league.
Some of the ideas I would like to promote are;
alternative building processes
alternative energy
the importance of local food production
energy efficiency
water resource management
efficient and environmentally sound land use
and the list goes on.
If anyone has any interest in a project such as this, please contact me. Thank you!
