The Centre for Alternative Technology is near Machynlleth in Wales.
Now CAT is an education and visitor centre which demonstrates practical solutions for sustainability. They cover all aspects of green living: environmental building, eco-sanitation, woodland management, renewable energy, energy efficiency and organic growing.
Over the years of visiting Wales we have seen the Centre develop and grow into a fantasitc place to visit and to get interesting and practical ideas for sustainable living. It was one of the first places we saw wind turbines and learnt that you could sell power back to the grid. It was where we saw heating and hot water solutions which ranged from the pipes from old baths to the most up to date technology and it was where we learnt that the Welsh for microwave is poppty ping!
