Host a conference on sustainable building alternatives for homebuilders and contractors in the area so that the methods for building sustainably are known and available.
Host a tour in conjunction with the conference of places we think are examples of sustainable living, that combine both agriculture and building (perhaps even more).
Conduct a weekend workshop series. This would be an ongoing educational series to help others (including low income populations) do sustainable development work. It could be anything from installing a solar hot water heater to growing a garden.
1) Integrate/collaborate with many existing Organizations.
2) Appeal to different audiences specifically, i.e. A conference for contractors, and a weekend workshop for a first-time home buyer.
3) Education and Skill development.
4) Building community.
5) Improve Quality of life.
