Feasta aims to identify the characteristics (economic, cultural and environmental) of a truly sustainable society, articulate how the necessary transition can be effected and promote the implementation of the measures required for this purpose.

One of the many benefits of Feasta membership is the opportunity of joining a Working Group which form a key part of our self-development. Working Groups cover range of issues – such as Land & Housing, Food, Money, and Health – with plenty of scope for new involvement.

The Passive House Association of Ireland (PHAI) aims to be a catalyst for the increased awareness of the opportunities and benefits of low energy design. Passive House Design is seen as a specifically proven successful way of designing such buildings.

PHAI aims to promote, educate, facilitate and develop a strong identity, understanding and demand for the passive house concept

The Association is non-profit-making and all membership fees collected go toward the promotion of the Passive House Principles in their many varied forms.

Caryna Camerino is the baker behind Caryna's Cakes, a small artisan bakery that feeds Dublin's sweet tooth by way of supplying delicious and high quality treats to coffee shops, restaurants and famers' markets. Caryna's Cakes bakes best quality home-baked treats made with real Irish butter, pure vanilla extract, Irish free range eggs, fairtrade chocolate and lovin' from the oven. There is absolutely no addition of preservatives, enzymes, stabilisers or other gross stuff that is often used in commercial bakeries. I emphasize the use of local products wherever possible, ethically produced flour and chocolate, and cater for tastes that range from decadent treats to sugar-free and gluten-free options.
