DIY Renewables Anyone?

Want to do your bit for the environment but can't justify the cost of installing things like solar panels and wind turbines? Then I may have the website for you.

BuildItSolar provides you with free advice, information, plans/designs, instructions, and software tools for building any of a range of projects for your home, local school, or community for a fraction of the cost professionals would charge.

It covers things like energy and water conservation, solar heating, solar electric, biofuels, and even solar cooking.

Of course, you'll have to be a bit practical, up for a challenge, and need to be aware of any building regulations that might affect your project. But it could be the way to do your bit for a lot less, and save you money in reduced fuel/water bills in to the bargain.

Let me know how you do.
