  • Transition Towns
    Creative adaptations in the realms of energy production, health, education, economy and agriculture as a ‘road map’ to a sustainable future for a town.
     

  • The Earth Charter Initiative
    is a declaration of fundamental principles for building a just, sustainable, and peaceful global society for the 21st century. Created by global civil society, endorsed by thousands of organizations and institutions, the Charter is not only a call to action, but a motivating force inspiring change the world over.
     

  • SA Good news
    South Africa's premier good news website.
     

  • WorldChanging
    is a solutions-based online magazine that works from a simple premise: that the tools, models and ideas for building a better future lie all around us. That plenty of people are working on tools for change, but the fields in which they work remain unconnected. That the motive, means and opportunity for profound positive change are already present. That another world is not just possible, it's here. We only need to put the pieces together.

  • Conscious Consuming Conscious Consuming seeks to increase awareness of the impact of buying decisions on our health, happiness, and environment. Through education and discussion we encourage people to live in line with their values by better prioritizing time, money, and material things.

     

  • Centre for Alternative Technology (Wales) offer solutions to some of the most serious challenges facing our planet and the human race, such as climate change, pollution and the waste of precious resources. Theydemonstrate practical ways of addressing these problems. Leading by example, we aim to show that living more sustainably is not only easy to attain but can provide a better quality of life. They address every aspect of the average lifestyle - the key areas  are renewable energy, environmental building, energy efficiency, organic growing and alternative sewage systems.
     

  • Energy Bulletin
    World energy and environmental news updated daily. Innovations or partial solutions to this crisis, such as renewable energy generation capacity and research , alternative financial systems, or post-carbon urban agriculture                          
     

  • Path to Freedom Let's face it. Our world is in deep, deep trouble and we are the "troublemakers." We have to make real, difficult changes yesterday. Despite the obvious benefits, we are not going to recycle, compost, or talk our way out of this. Our leaders, being politicians, are not leaders at all but are bound to be followers, who just won't be there for us in a crisis. So, it's up to me and you to make the choice of becoming responsible stewards of the earth. Let's turn the world right side up as demonstrated through this website. Join us on our journey towards a sustainable present and future. Let's walk the path to freedom.
     

  • LoveFoodHateWaste
    Love Food Hate WasteEven those who don't care about the ethics of food wasting are thinking thrifty, thanks to skyrocketing food prices. LoveFoodHateWaste pitches in with recipes that help you make use of food that might otherwise go bad. Need to use up some parsnips? Got some cottage cheese you'll never finish? Tell LFHW what you've got on hand, and the site suggests recipes that'll help you clean out your fridge and save money at the same time. We especially like the Rescue Recipes for foods that are already a bit past their best, like veggies that are "on the turn" or bread that's gotten a bit stale.
     

  • Indoor farming. Enjoy fresh, locally produced high quality food all year round, anywhere you are, without leaving your residence
     

  • Transition Energy
    The Alliance to Save Energy believes that with just a few adjustments, society will make the jump from unlimited oil consumption to sustainable economies based on improved energy efficiency. But greater energy efficiency, fuel saving technologies and the installation of minor adjustments in our daily lifestyles will not solve the coming oil crunch. Renewable green energy sources can help reduce pollution and dependence on petroleum products.
     

  • Vertical Algae biofuel Growing
    At Least 20,000 gal of Algae Oil from one acre annually! Check out this video...... We don't have to use our food to produce fuel!! A mere one-tenth of the surface of New Mexico would be enough with this new, simple, environmentally-friendly technology to produce enough energy for the entire United States!
     

  • Vertical Vegetable Growing Systems --- they are still in the process of testing and improving their Algae biofuel technology... "The research and development team of Valcent Products Inc. has now completed twelve months of the algae vertical bioreactor development program. During a 90-day continual production test, algae was being harvested at an average of one gram (dry weight) per liter. This equates to algae bio mass production of 276 tons of algae per acre per year. Achieving the same biomass production rate with an algal species having 50% lipids (oil) content would therefore deliver approximately 33,000 gallons of algae oil per acre per year."
