Green Hamlet builds ecovillage in Poland

Green Hamlet is a group of friends putting the building practices presented at natural homes and earth hands and houses in to practice.
We are building our ecoVillage in Poland, not far from the medieval town of Olsztyn. The first phase of the hamlet is to get building permits, a reliable supply of water and some basic buildings to support the builds between 2010 and 2013.

Green Hamlet lies in Warmia, Poland. It's a beautiful region with vibrant seasons and wonderful landscapes. The artists here use natural materials such as wood, wool and stone to make wonderful mosaics, sculptures, jewellery and pictures. When you come to a Green Hamlet workshop here you will be able to attend a special exhibition of work by these artists.

UK too reliant on imported food? 3 Replies

51% of British food is imported. This means our food supply is not secure (although of course Britain's food supply is nowhere near as vulnerable as that of developing countries). There are also envi…
