"Among our major tasks is the creation of ecologically
derived human support systems - renewable energy,
agriculture aquaculture, housing and landscapes. The
strategies we research emphasize a minimal reliance on
fossil fuels and operate on a scale accessible to
individuals, families, and small groups. It is our belief
that ecological and social transformations must take
place at the lowest functional levels of society if
humankind is to direct its course towards a greener,
saner world."
