DESCRIPTION:     Aprovecho Research Center is a center for all sorts of sustainable 
 activities in their own backyard and across the globe. It is located on the 
 western edge of the Willamette watershed in Oregon. (near Eugene) The 
 40-acre piece of land is home to ethical agriculture--providing nutrition 
 for the community. It is home to sustainable forestry management--providing 
 firewood, building materials, medicinals, mushrooms, habitat, and an 
 economically viable path towards an old-growth forest. Aprovecho is the 
 home of the development of various appropriate technologies including solar 
 showers, insulated cookers, solar cooking, draft box, and much more...      
  ASAT--Advanced Studies in Appropriate Technology--is a part of Aprovecho. 
 ASAT works to test and to design wood-burning cookstoves with local 
 materials. These fuel-efficient cleaner burning stoves are used at 
 Aprovecho and 100,000s of them have been built in the resource robbed 
 countries of the global south. Resource conservation and improving air 
 quality for women and children globally balance with developing autonomous 
 networks of Permacultural spaces in rural America makes Aprovecho a unique 
 place.        Additionally, Aprovecho has 3 ten-week internships (spring, 
 summer, and fall) to educate about sustainable living and be a part of 
 Aprovecho's work. Many college give academic credit for this internship. 
 Chris and Josh host a weekly radio show "Rhythms and Resistance" on KSOW 
 106.7 (Aprovecho's community radio station that reaches the town of Cottage 
 Grove, Oregon). The presentation / discussion will elaborate on Aprovecho, 
 give details about appropriate technologies that are useful to you, and try 
 to learn how their work is related to your work, your experience, and your 
 life.   \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/01/18/85223.php
