This website endorsed by Christchurch Press independent reviewer Lee Suckling on 2/3/2010 who described it as "...a more entertaining way to learn about a sustainable lifestyle", and, after describing the courses and workshops, added: "if you can't make it to a course, you'll also find informative Action Guide PDF files for download which simplify the energy efficiency experience". Extracts from the review, alongside four other leading NZ sites, linked here.
