Low Impact Philosophy

Recycling LI style


The New Alchemists, Mother Earth and the Centre for Alternative Technology, all publish works that look at low impact progress, and quickly, we must learn to re-cycle everything and learn what and 'what-not' to buy.

There is no full directory of 'low impact' goods but you can look out for the 'Fair Trade' sticker on your purchases. You can buy goods that are less 'processed' and more 'local'. You can support people who will repair goods and find new uses for unwanted goods.

If you work along these lines above, you are thinking about the future of your children and their children - great.

If you waste and trash stuff, you are not thinking far enough ahead - so keep going.

If you regularly cause a pollution problem - get help fast.

Share the information you find and the ideas that you have to promote and secure low impact growth. Never give up on a vital thing, for with the internet you can reach the world and keep it changing. Post your thoughts on message boards, newsgroups, guest books and on a section of your own web page. Show the World how you are working to preserve tomorrow.

I know in some places and in some families that it is harder to think about tomorrow but you must try your hardest as the World needs everyone to look after it and care for it. We are all living on the same planet no matter which corner our house stands upon. We share the air, the waters and the Sun. and we all depend upon them no matter where we come from.

Join a local Earth Friendly group but make sure you agree with the way they promote their cause.

Tomas Peska – WWOOFING around the HoBB

View along grass. TP on RHSHave your joined the Wwoof organisation? The first ever wwoofer to our HoBBian Hills came here five years ago when we first joined as a Host. He arrived a day early, on a bicycle he designed and built himself, from the Czech Republic

If you are not familiar with the international 'Wwoof' organisation (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) that brings together those wishing to travel the world with hosts, worldwide, then click to wwoof.org.uk and start planning your journey into this new world of friends - a world full of very special and individual ways of thinking.

Tomas continued his cycling through the UK on leaving the HoBB. When back in the Czech Republic, he emailed us saying :

"Thank you for learning a lot; relaxed like home atmosphere; superb food; fun; jokes; Penny; Topy ….. a little bit of philosophy – way of life. And also thanks for patience and energy"

At the HoBB, we encourage rare moments of life to evolve. If you are thinking of Wwoofing at the HoBB Project House, read what others have said about their time here in the green hills:

Monika E. at the HoBB
Florence Tapiau / Environment Journalist / Wwoofing at The HoBB
Rob Lockwood at the HoBB Project House
Russ Sherry at the HoBB
Kiersten Broderick at the HoBB

And in French ...
Jeanne C. at the HoBB

Friends of the HoBB

We believe, that if you opt to join us and have an open and enthusiastic mindset, you will be well pleased with your decision.

There are many reasons why Wwoof members choose to visit the HoBB – it is not always obvious, but all leave with some fine memories they frequently choose to share with others.

Many revisit – our extended circle of Friends are very dear to us and we feel honoured to be a part of some very special folks lives.

Journey well.

Grant and Helen
