Projects

Project:

Recently we have been working with CSF which is building an incredible community of people very similar to ours. They are mainly focused on Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA. We are going to be teaching people how to create their own gardens no matter where they live. We especially like the roof-top gardens! We will be working together to grow organinc food in an effort to become more sustainable. With all the plants we will have a great compost and it is our goal to harvest the methane from the decomposing matter to use to for cooking and heating.

The Local Living Economies Movement Manifesto

Maximizing relationships, not maximizing profits
Growth of consciousness and creativity,
not brands and market-share,
Democracy and decentralized ownership, not concentrated wealth.
A living return, not the highest return.
A fair price, not the lowest price.
Sharing, not hoarding,
Simplicity, not gluttony,
Life serving, not self-serving.
Partnership, not domination.
Cooperation based, not competition based.
Win-win exchange, not win-loose exploitation.
Family farms, not factory farms.
Bio-diversity, not monocrops.
Cultural diversity, not monoculture.
Creativity, not conformity.
Slow food, not fast food.
Our bucks, not Starbucks.
Our mart, not Wal-Mart.
Valuing life over life-style.
And as the Earth Charter says,
"Being more, not having more."

AFV

Our latest project is a clean fuel partnership with American Fuel Vehicles.com

We are working closely with AFV to educate people about cleaner fuels as our Trucks are now running on Steamboat Biodiesel mixed with Compressed Natural Gas, this allows us to clean the air while we get an extra 100 HP and much better fuel economy!

Join the Clean Fuel Revolution, Learn more at the AFV website.

Solar/Wind Powered Mobile Cabin

"Le Wagen"

In an effort to educate people and businesses about sustainability, alternative energy, community and economic development our first Project hits the road! In a mobile cabin powered by solar and wind energy and built with 90% reused materials to minimize our carbon footprint Heal the Snow representatives will take to the road on an adventure on the U.S. Freeskiing Circuit to target the people that love the snow and environment most!

Built out of waste materials, mostly from free stuff on craigslist and other junkyard items. We milled our own wood from the dead city trees of Salt Lake City to build the frame and interior. Everything runs on solar power and the passive solar works fantastic. The lighting is so great that we hardly ever use lights. In the winter it is heated with propane or natural gas and there is enough power to run anything we need.

It has a 200 watt wind generator @ 7mph wind speed and 240w of solar pv panels and 625amp hours of storage via gel batteries with an 1800 watt inverter. When its not sunny you can just hook it up to our truck and run it for a bit charging the batteries while running biodiesel, It also has a dc converter so you can plug in to the grid and charge the batteries if the truck is not around. It can also just be pluged in to the grid and bypassing the inverter altogether.

Together we will build a healthy well educated community of environmental adventure enthusiasts. Working together we will achieve more by building local communities and bridging the gap between Environmental towns during our travels. In the summer we will be traveling to Various Green Festivals with the occasional adventure between events. Fueled by biodiesel we will build our network of Healthy Freethinking entrepreneurs to help reshape our future. Hope to see you on the road! Visit our blog to stay updated with our adventures.
