'Eco-Designs network', is a linked consultancy which provides you with the answers you are looking for, and  will work with you to ensure that you find the level of self-sustainability which you are hoping to find within your budget.




If you are unsure of mixed messages which you see on the news, why not have a look at the Research Findings which were accumulated from a wide range of sources, and cover issues from food production, to cement, and poverty, deprivation and exclusion.  


The research included all the important subject areas required to 'prove the need' of our first regenerative, sustainable community living project, 'The Tree Ark Project', which is designed to float wherever it is needed, and which is ultimately replicable.

Ecologically designed sustainable communities, have to interlink, be inclusive, and replicable.

The Tree Ark Project - is our exemplar 'regenerative, sustainable community living project'
(it had to be non-site-specific, the client's woodland plot which initiated the community formation, was far too contentious a location - as such, the UK planning guidelines, DEFRA, Government and United Nations Agenda 21, were used as the 'clients' brief, with special attention paid to 'proving the need' of this - or any other community, ultimately making all proposals highly 'replicable' - ANYWHERE.)

• The Ark Communities Project - will list other sustainable communities & grass-roots organisations
• The Ark Water Project - will list 'Water for ALL' projects, charities, organisations, and mechanisms
• The Ark Elements Project - will list different eco-builds for a variety of terrains and conditions
• Information 4 Tomorrow - will list 'Education for ALL' projects, charities, organisations & mechanisms, including conservation, environment, seed and planting libraries etc.
• The Ark SOS - is somewhere where people can list their own environmental crisis
• Voice 4 Reason - will list human rights injustices

Considering the 'proven need' of any rural sustainable community to comply with planning guidelines, and that of the legislative guide to have a viable income generator:

• Global Ark Projects - is an interactive networking hub for all environmentally concerned parents, people and children, linking them to all the answers they may be hoping to find.  It is a non-profit distributing organisation, set up to share profits in support of sustainable community start-ups, and the rest of the 'Third Sector' (charities, other non-profits and non-governments).
• The Ark Portal of Innovations - will list all the latest sustainable innovations/information, and provide everyone with the window they need to launch their own original design.
• The Ark Directory - will list only 'Environmental & Ethical' solutions - for the sake of humanity & this Earth upon which it is dependant.  
• N.B.  We will promote all the ethical & environmental products & services via our showroom based consultancies on the site/s of our 'Ark' community projects.

(Free listings for other non-profits, charities & NGO's, the Ark Directory will list all the available products, organisations and services which fall into those categories.  Profits will be earned through commissions, and redistributed via Global Ark Projects, supporting those which support others, the ultimate in self-sustainability.)

ALL, with the future of children and this, their planetary home in mind.

(Please note that all the links will be added to individual pages as soon as possible - this website is still a work in progress.  Linda Beamish 6th March 2010. - please see 'Research Findings' used for my full report/proposals (all 'Ark' projects), and 'Environmental & Ethical Reference Points' used for 'The Tree Ark Project'.)
