Centre for Alternative Technology

The Centre for Alternative Technology specialises in offering solutions to some of the most serious challenges that our planet and the human race is facing such as the waste of precious resources, climate change and pollution.

They want to show that living more sustainably is not that hard as the prospect of suffering a massive environmental disaster is quickly becoming evident. They are embracing the early signs and are coming up with solutions to prevent it from happening.

The key areas they work in are renewable energy, environmental building, energy efficiency, organic growing and alternative sewage systems. They promote their ideas through a variety of different means such as their visitor centre that shows interactive displays of global issues, a telephone information service answering any enquiries, letter or email and for bigger projects there is also a consultancy service.
