Beschreibung
We have a beautiful eco house in the forested mountains 45 mins from Athens.
Our aim is to live sustainably and inspire visitors who may stay a few days or weeks or just attend seminars showcasing the challenges and opportunities of alternative living.
We are off grid relying on the sun to power our low impact lifestyle.
We develop new technologies and as far as possible grow our own food.
A positive attitude, willingness to help, and respect for the environment are the basic attributes we require.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Workawayers will learn about living sustainably using a variety of techniques ranging from solar PV panels that power the house and charge electric cars to solar thermal panels which provide hot water for washing and heating. There are a number of innovative thermal heat storage systems and energy generating devices. Kitchen waste is composted and fed to chickens. Bath and toilet waste (toilets are conventional sit down type with water flushing) is composted too for use in the vegetable garden. High yield techniques including aquaponic vegetable gardening is being experimented with. We encourage debate and exchange of views regarding sustainability. We are very much a multi cultural and share opinions, insights and ideas.
