The following are some of the
projects that could be implemented in your community.
CSA/Community Garden
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm typically produces
organic vegetables and fruit and directly distributes whatever
is harvested to local consumer/members on a weekly basis.
Start a CSA or set up a Community Garden in your community to
gain the benefit of locally produced sustainable food.
Biodiesel Fueling Station
Biodiesel is a vegetable oil based fuel that can be
used in diesel engines in place of petroleum diesel fuel.
Help to lessen your community's dependence on non sustainable
imported oil by building this simple Biodiesel fueling station.
Household Cleaning Agents
It is
well known that common, non toxic ingredients such as vinegar
and baking soda can be used effectively in place of chemically
based cleaning agents on the market which are often overpriced,
over-packaged and over-promoted.
Learn how easy it is to make your own cleaning agents.
Battery Recycling
Program Throwing batteries in the trash is now illegal
in California and should be avoided even where it is not
illegal. See how one community group has addressed this
issue with an innovative program.
