Sustainable Living Project in Central Portugal
By Administrator | June 2, 2008
Here is a message and invitation from fellow eco-warriors in the area, Sophie and Andy at the Farm of the Bees…
Eco-Living Central Portugal has a new focus! We (Quinta das Abelhas) set up the eco-living project with the intention of offering courses, workshops and practical experience of sustainable living on a large riverside quinta we planned to buy. Unfortunately the purchase of this new quinta fell through and we no longer feel we have sufficient space, time and energy to devote to the project. Thus we have, after much consideration, decided that the best use of this website and the funds we have already been kindly donated is to promote and support other sustainable projects in the local area (Central Portugal).
The project’s aims remain the same, and we will now be adding to the funding by sharing the profits from our business Pure Portugal Ltd to help meet those aims:
- To support and promote local ecological and sustainable projects, courses and events;
- To encourage visitors to gain practical experience of eco-living;
- To inspire, empower, & enable people to reduce their ecological footprint;
- To bring together communities and individuals working for sustainability, self-sufficiency, and low-impact living;
- To collaborate on various projects and share ideas and experiences;
- To network with national and international projects on sustainability.
