Hi. I am looking for a good website on eco living. Ive just bought a small farm & want to convert it to being as self sustaining & eco as possible.....& if possible earn a living. Most of the websites I have found offer little real advice...anyone know of a good one out there. Thanks for your time.

You could try the Defra website, it has a load of info about farming and the environment - although it may be on a larger scale than perhaps you are looking for.

Answer 6

Permaculture is probably the best place to start:

http://www.permaculture.org.uk/

http://www.permaculture.co.uk/

http://greatturningtimes.org/current.asp

http://totnes.transitionnetwork.org/

but a lot of this is best learnt from a course and meeting and listening to people locally who have done this
