CAT is an education and visitor centre which demonstrates practical solutions for sustainability. We cover all aspects of green living: environmental building, eco-sanitation, woodland management, renewable energy, energy efficiency and organic growing.
CAT is concerned with the search for globally sustainable, whole and ecologically sound technologies and ways of life.
Within this search the role of CAT is to explore and demonstrate a wide range of alternatives, communicating to other people the options for them to achieve positive change in their own lives.
This communication involves:
Inspiring - instilling the desire to change by practical example
Informing - feeding the desire to change by providing the most appropriate information
Enabling - providing effective and continuing support to put the change into practice.
CAT has a holistic approach to its work, integrating ideas and practice relating to land use, shelter, energy conservation and use, diet and health, waste management and recycling.
Through its resident community and work organisation, CAT is also committed to the implementation of co-operative principles and best achievable environmental practices.
