Summary
Community "Laboratories"--A Way to Address the Urgent Need for "Small," "Simple," and "Local"

The vision of Community Laboratories is of places where people can gather to develop their ideas for new processes, new technologies, or new ways of doing things that fit into a framework of less energy use, less complexity, simpler components, and the potential for cooperative development. The labs are to provide the support structures needed to design, test, and implement ideas.

The purpose of this project is to establish guidelines, plans, and designs to enable local communities to establish community laboratories.
