The Greenbrair Collective's Appropriate Technology Project is an attempt to build extremely low-energy use devices and technologies from cheap or freely locally available materials, experiment with new designs, and distribute these technologies throughout the community.  We focus on essential survival technologies, such as cooking, water collection and purification, food preservation, and shelter, that are currently managed by expensive, energy-reliant appliances.  So far collective members have built rocket stoves, solar ovens, hayboxes, and are working on shelter, root cellars, and water distillers, with more in the works.  Let us know if there is an appropriate technology you want to see!

Detailed information on collective technologies, including pictures, will be posted soon!
