The coolest thing I have found is the fuel conversion systems for Diesel vehicles by EnviroCar. For a couple of thousand you can convert a Diesel vehicle to an alternative fuel system. The vegetable oil fuel supplied by EnviroCar (Envirofuel) costs only 0.89 cents/litre, is delivered to your door and is more efficient than regular diesel. For more info see the website or click here to read a rather scientific article discussing Envirofuel.

Lets get some in the Wai eh?

Persuasive arguments for Councils to Support Bicycling

Check out this info on the benefits of getting on ya Bike. Its from the U.S but has some great arguments for why communities should be doing more to encourage and support folks on bikes. I realise I am probably preaching to the converted but it could come in use!

Calling all Wairarapians interested in Sustainability

This blog has changed focus! We know there are lots of folks in the Wai interested in sustainability (over 45 people came from out of the blue to our Cob workshop last year, amazing!) and we want to create a fun and interactive place online where people can connect with one another and get together to make things happen. We know there is already lots of cool stuff going on....and we want to tell people about it! So please, get in touch or post if you share our passion for this work.

Sam & I are currently in China where Sam is participating in a sculpture symposium with Masterton's sister city Changchun, visit his China Blog for more pics & info. After that we head to London to work for a few months ....and we have a list of cool eco-related projects and sights to visit there before our return home. We hope to pick up some cool ideas and contacts to put into practice when we get back.

Thats all for now. Contact me (Janine) if you are keen to be more involved with this blog in some way, shape or form.The cob pizza oven Sam and I built (with the help of friends & family) at Bull Gully, our family land near Castlepoint.
