Interests in Appropriate Technology[edit | edit source]
- I am interested in learning effective installation of solar and wind technologies that will benefit individuals in the manner that is the most beneficial to them, at the lowest cost.
- I would like to learn how to create useful items from scrap materials that would traditionally be discarded as waste.
- I would like to learn alternative solutions to solve problems that I would not normally think about. (Building something or re-purposing, instead of purchasing new).
Experience in Appropriate Technology[edit | edit source]
- Fixing of worn out cloth objects by sewing them back to together, and determining the ideal string type for the repair.
- Creation of vertical gardens and weedless gardens by re purposing old pallets and weed cloth material. We made garden beds that were portable and produced large quantities of vegetables.
- Re purposed an old shipping container and converted it into a waterproof feed storage compartment with a sleeping area for a pig. We utilized scrap pieces of plywood to create the roof of the shelter.
