Last i heard Peter was director at the Alternative Technology Center in 
Machynlleth - I don't have them bookmarked but search on the correct 
spelling of Machynlleth (I just massacred it) or "National Center for 
Alternative Technology" and you should find it.

I think in the 80's Godfrey was at ITDG (intermediate technology 
development group)

I remember seeing this stuff in Undercurrents, but I don't remember seeing 
any examples of things that had actually been done, rather than just 
advocated.
