Question by Shannon E: How do I get experience in sustainable building design?
I’m an Architectural Design & Drafting student emphasizing Sustainability that needs some experience working with others that know what they’re doing. I want to find work internationally (on temporary contract jobs), and eventually freelance on the side.
I can’t figure out how to break in though…

Shannon,
I belive that Agua-Luna is 100% what you are looking for…
Agua-Luna Ranch is located in west Texas, Its a 100% off grid Ranch, which hosts/teaches interns & volunteers in self sustainability, sustainable building & renewable energy, on the ranch & abroad. In fact we just got back from The Amazon doing a sustainable project in Peru in the rain forest.
As of now there is no cost for the program or fee for staying on the ranch. Currently we’re putting up an sustainable building A frame structure for intern winter housing, building a reservoir & have 9 solar panels & a wind turbine that’s being raised. Hydroponics, hydrogen generation from water, how to make ethanol, biodiesel, solar panels, wind turbines, methane digesters, soap, etc, etc, etc. Later this Winter we’ll be heading down to Mexico to build self sufficient homes in "needing" communities as well as traveling back to the Amazon.
