My motivation for taking part in this A-Z blog challenge is to learn more about all things ECO and to find out if others share my perspective.
Eco is about the impact living organisms have on their environment. This eco alphabet will be an eco journey for me – an opportunity for me to find out more about a topic I have always wanted to know more about but of course this is just a beginner dipping a toe in... and trying to be honest too about the reality of eco issues in my life.
The term “alternative technology” was coined 40 years ago by one of the founders of the Centre for Alternative Technology, in North Wales to describe technologies that are more environmentally friendly than those in current practice. It deals particularly with energy and fuel alternatives some of which have become more prevalent and some of which have receded further into the distance. I hope they don't mind being my letter A.

If you search for this topic you will find there has even been an alternative technology movement which has looked for solutions to how technology could deliver environmental and social goals.
This A-Z will cover a whole range of topics that come loosely under this banner but also will cover less technological solutions and attitude changes.
