Molecular Biomimetics

This is a list of all individuals, groups, businesses, educational institutions and sections of local government that we know of in the Blue Mountains that are making our transition to bioregional sustainability easier. Some people have been active in this area for many years, others are just taking their first steps. At this stage only email or web contact details are supplied.

NB It is very much a work in progress, and its usefulness will depend on continual networking and monitoring by members of the Blue Mountains Permaculture Network, Cittaslow Katoomba Blue Mountains and other interested people.

Please suggest amendments or additions that you know about by emailing lizzieconnor@bigpond.com.
