Rainier, MD 20822 Bangladesh cannot afford to buy imported soap, and a development worker wants to make a substitute out of locally available materials. A missionary in Honduras wants to develop wind energy for a local village. The fisheries officer in India wants to find a commercial use for the copious supplies of seaweed that grow along his coast. VITA constantly gets requests like these from all over the world .. . about 1000 a month. If they don't have the information in their library, they find a volunteer from their national network of 6000 who suggests a solution and then continues to provide detailed technical advice until the problem is solved. It's all done by mail-efficient and effective. The organization has been doing this valuable a. t. work since 1960. And they can always use technical assistance. Right now, volunteer specialists are urgently needed in the following fields : 1) windpower, including the use of windmills for pumping water and electrical generation; 2) grain processing and storage; 3) methane and biogas technology; 4) bamboo crafts; 5) rabbit raising; and 6) housing construcstruction in tropical climates using locally available materials. Write for more information as well as their list of excellent publications. Better yet, visit their jam-packed a.t. library if you're ever in the D.C. area-it's definitely the most complete I've seen. EAT 3-Environmentally Appropriate Technologies, 3rd edition, by Bruce McCallum, limited numbers of free copies available from: Information Services Environment Canada Tankasi 627811 Tamilnad, So. India 10th Floor, Fontaine Bldg. Ottawa, Ontario, Canada KlA OH3 819-997-2087 (Bruce) Excellent, 162-page introduction to biotechnology, renewable energy sources, resource and energy conservation in city planning, transportation, industry, agriculture and housing. Covers vital areas often neglected or underemphasized because their potential is not yet fully understood: energy storage; decentralized on-site energy generation, conversion and utilization; wood heating. Excellent suggestions for further reading. One extremely instructive item is 4 pages of calculations and tables comparing present and future costs for oil, gas, solar & electric, total solar, and solar & wood heating. You'll have to get a copy to find out which beat out all the others. Highly recommended for classroom use in conjunction with The Energy Primer, published by Portola Institute, and for public libraries.
