http://opensourceecology.org.nyud.net/(Open Source Ecology website)
Marcin Jakubowski took his PhD in fusion physics and turned into a farmer with a vision. Billed as a "starter kit for civilization," he has begun by placing open source designs for fifty known technologies, such that they can be built--DIY style--in a sustainable way. Julia Valentine, a farmer writing in the Atlantic, quipped, "It's not reinventing the wheel; it's open sourcing the wheel."
His TED Talk provides an interesting place to catch a glimpse of his work in a little over four minutes, and his website's link is also listed above.
Enjoy,
Anthony
