WWOOF
      Willing Workers On Organic Farms is a cultural exchange. We gather a 
list of sustainable projects
      and organizations that, from time to time invite volunteers to help 
out. People interested in
      experiencing a sustainable lifestyle use our list to make contact 
with hosts they are interested in
      visiting. The hosts and volunteers work out the details of their own 
arrangements.

      Who should be a host?
      Anyone who can answer yes to these two questions:
      1) Am I sustainable?
      2) Could I use a hand every now and then?

      What's Involved?
      There is no obligation to accept volunteers when you signup to be a 
host. You just accept
      volunteers as you see fit. Generally you should be able to provide 
your volunteers with basic room
      and board. Please note that OrganicVolunteers is a matchmaking 
service and does not take
      responsibility for the actions or negligence of any participants in 
this program.

      Why be a host?

           To create an educational network of people working in the 
sustainability movement
           To share knowledge and skills with other interested people
           To get help with your work, whether it's just around the home 
garden or designing a
           sustainable community.
           To practice the skills needed to live with other people.
           To gain a outside perspective from volunteers
           To learn more about the benefits of being a host, ask around on 
our forum

      Who should be a volunteer?
      Anyone interested in learning about environmental sustainability can 
be a volunteer.

      Why be a volunteer?

           To learn about any aspect of the sustainable movement you desire.
           To meet like-minded people
           To share your knowledge and skills with others
           To practice the skills needed to live with other people
           To explore future work possibilities
           To learn more about the benefits of being a volunteer ask around 
on our forum

      How does it work?
      OrganicVolunteers is a simple match making service. We provide a list 
of hosts and their contact
      info and volunteers make arrangements with the host. 
OrganicVolunteers does not place
      volunteers with hosts. Do not just show up at a host's door; you must 
make contact first and
      discuss your arrangement prior to arriving. Hosts can reject any 
volunteers they chose and
      volunteers can leave at anytime.

      WHAT ARE "POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS"?
      Positive environmental solutions are affirmative, rather than 
negative, responses to environmental
      problems. This first step to responding positively is to identify the 
problem and possible causes.
      The second is to create a measurable objective that focuses on the 
intended results rather than
      the methods. For example: Global warming is a problem and burning 
fossil fuels is a major cause.
      Our objective is to create a human settlement that relies on 
renewable and sustainable
      resources. Once the objective, or positive solution, is clear action 
can be taken to obtain that
      objective. How you obtain that objective is up to you but
