Interest free community
Sustainable economy for communities, a way through the legal minefield to closing off the leaks of wealth from our families and communities
Bryan Innes
Historically, for the most part sustainable economy has been local economy, based on cooperative and competitive processes. How can we shift from centralised and global to resilient local economy? A new way of seeing!
Our universities traditionally focus on macroeconomic models based on assumptions of profit maximisation and competition. It is taken for granted that money must be created as interest-bearing debt. The Greek word oikonomia - household management - points to an interpretation of economy as the management of material resources. My understanding of economics is based on the energy transactions that underpin ecological relationship. I use the design tool of sector analysis - the study of flows of energy (including materials) into, through and out of a site. This chapter explores a system of exchange that mimics the energetic exchanges that occur at the boundaries of natural systems.
Ecology and economy
The reality of nature is that all is connected with all.
Auto Sprouter
THis is a fantastic piece of kitchen equipment. You can use it for one person or for a big group.If you are serious about consuming organic, healthy, clean food daily with minimal work and maximum results this is the Sprouter for you. Sprouts have the greatest nutritient activity of all raw foods. This is because sprouts are actually still in the process of growing.
They are at the peak of their life force.
The body readily absorbs nutrients from sprouts, and they are easily digested. 
This saves your body energy because sprouts,or germinated seeds, are pre-digested food, they have what's called a "higher biological efficiency value" than whole seeds, weather raw or cooked. Sprouts may also have a regenerating effect on the human body.
Why? It's due to the high concentration of RNA, DNA, protein and essential minerals that's found only in living cells.
The auto sprouter:
- Sprays
- Oxygenates
- Drains
- Inexpensive to operate
- East to clean

Compact Juicer
The Compact Juicer
Compact Multi Purpose Juicer and Mincer - 10 machines in one!
The new Compact uses minimal bench space as the name implies. It is more streamlined and smaller, therefore taking up less valuable bench space as the name implies.
The low RPM (75-85) of the Compact and the gentle crushing and squeezing process, is similar to a Cold-Press method, therefore generating minimal friction heat.
Your juice can retain up to 60% more nutrients than conventional juicers and the valuable enzymes remain alive. These live enzymes extracted from your fruit and vegetables aid your digestion and help your body absorb nutrients, boost your energy levels and immune system.
As an added bonus, your juice remains stable, nutritious and fresh for up to 48 hours (juice may be stored in a sealed container in the fridge).
Chemical laboratory tests have shown that up to 87% of hazardous chemicals can be removed from the juice using the mill-type method of juice extraction.
The new generation 'Compact' multi food processor Combines a 'Living Juicer' extractor with many other food processing functions that sets it apart from the rest. The bonus mincing attachment will have you mincing meat & making sausages like a professional.
The 12 year warranty on the motor and 5 years on parts indicates the quality of this kitchen appliance and is a clear advantage over other juice extractors.
One of the things which sets the new Compact multipurpose juicer/mincer apart from regular juicers, is that it can juice just about anything including wheatgrass. It will grind coffee beans, make nut butters, homous, pesto, salsa, dressings, dips, baby food, pasta and frozen desserts.
It even has a completely separate mincing attachment that will professionally mince meat, chicken and fish as well as a sausage making nozzle.

Fresh juice vital to health
Fresh juice is in fact a living food, because it contains enzymes. These enzymes are found in fruit and vegetables and are vital because they assist in many of the chemical processes in the body, particularly digestion. Enzymes are however easily destroyed, especially if they are heated to temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. That means they can be harmed by cooking or even by using a fruit and vegetable juicer which extracts at too high a temperature.
