A Trip Out!

As a result of the interest in my post about a Greener Life I was wondering who would like to join me on a trip to the Centre for Alternative Technology sometime this Summer.

It is a fair old trek to Machynlleth and so we should probably make a weekend of it and arrange to camp out somewhere (there is a campsite less than a mile from the CAT). Those who wanted to could travel up on Fri night, spend Sat at the CAT and possibly head to the beach on Sun. What do you think?

Me!

I've already got four plans to visit it ...

Yes please! yes yes yes!

I've been there before, years and years back with my Mum. The rocket in their very organic garden was absolutely to die for :D

CAT site includes job postings, btw ... wonder how they'd be to work with?

I used to be an "energy auditor", going around and inspecting houses/testing furnaces/giving conservation recommendations, w/ annual savings estimates and pay-for-itself-by dates. It was fun. Didn't pay terribly well, and they ended up slashing the program when administrations changed in D.C., but still.

I'm not sure how I'd cope with being a herbivore - it's a no meat site!

That could be a problem ... or a reason for many off-site barbeques!
