SHAC! New Zealand



"Sustainable Habitat Challenge" is a New Zealand based organization formed to encourage young people to get involved with the sustainable housing world. Nine teams from around the country will compete to design and build the best projects by October 2011, when there will be a SHAC National Conference with peer review, expert review, & awards.

The teams focused on many things ranging from building with materials from recycling, building an adobe, and composting through worm farms.

Overall, this gives us great insight into how far ahead NZ is in the Sustainable movement, and they are proving that their standard of living does not have to take a hit over and over now.
