Check out this wonderful home made directions sign spotted last week on the Scilly Isles. I had not realized how sustainable such islands have to be. We can learn lot from their enforced containment. (The in word)
On St Agnes all houses have water catchment and the LA owns the power station. And don't get me started on the cool recycled jewellery.

Notes
- ABOUTI’m a qualified architect and town planner, an urbanist, a writer and a thinker. I work freelance throughout the UK for major developers, communities, government, local authorities and NGO’s, advising and project managing. I believe that we are being forced to change our attitudes and values. I predict that the simpler, greener, low energy lifestyle will fast become the most desirable and the most economical way to live. Documenting that change and signalling how we might make it is the subject of this blog
