Like many small towns on the prairie Craik, Saskatchewan was dying as people increasingly moved to the big cities. Craik decided to fight back. They created the Eco-Centre and a concept for an Eco-Village to attract people to this town that sits about halfway between Saskatoon and Regina.

this is the kitchen area. cork floor tiles that i just loved. the cabinets were made by her nephew out of hackberry, a tree that grows locally in the swamps. the countertops are hackberry and honey locust. i love the glass blocks in the wall. those provide a little extra light into the utility room on the other side.

Kelly and Audrey Taylor-Faye started building a 7,000 sq. foot retreat our of straw bales and it was blown down by a sustained wind storm. This is the second version project, a little smaller in size and made out of clay and straw, like a cob with straw filler, a method they found in Germany.

One of our instructors pretended to be our client, we were assigned a piece of land, & we had to come up w/ a permaculture design based on the needs/wants of our client. Plus, we each had to pick a specialty, i.e. be an "expect" in a particular field. I choose solar & passive solar.

Living Off the Grid - www.thriveoffthegrid.com/ - See how others are living offgrid using the advantages of wind and solar energy plus more for off grid power and ...
Living off the grid you must take advantage of renewable energy. This renewable resource originates from several sources, consisting of sun, wind and water, to start with ...
Researchers are constantly on the lookout for more ways of making green energy. Here are the 2 types you must understand now.
Living off the Grid: - Advantages of Solar Power
i. The energy that originates from simply one hour of sun suffices to supply energy for a year for the whole world
ii. A battery can be used to store off grid solar power for evenings and cloudy days
iii. Solar panels on a roof work when the sun's rays strike the cells in the panel and electrons are released, producing energy
iv. Using solar power will typically provide a saving of $100+ each month on utility costs for the property owners of off grid homes .
Living off the Grid: - Advantages of Wind Energy
i. When wind goes through the blades of a turbine that is connected to a generator, the energy produced by the spin is converted into electrical energy
ii. A single large wind turbine can provide electricity for around 500 off grid homes
iii. Last year, 42 % of the houses that were geared up with a source of off grid power used wind
iv. Unlike most other sources of energy, wind utilizes hardly any water; not only is wind energy carbon neutral, it helps water conservation also
v. There is around 10 times the amount of wind available in the U.S. than is needed to supply power for the whole country
vi. Wind energy is presently the fastest-growing source of renewable energy: - Around two wind farms are set up weekly in the U.S.
For living off the grid, the facts indicate that the advantages of solar power combined with the advantages of wind energy now exceed any advantages that fossil fuels may have had. However it is probably down to individuals to begin the shift to a larger scale adoption, so that we may all enjoy living off the grid.
Brent Kreuger says they used an induction stove in their Eco-Village home to save energy and because it’s good to cook on with its instant on and off heat. Photo David Dodge, Green Energy Futures www.greenenergyfutures.ca/episode/craik-eco-village
