Old time conservation. Remember clotheslines? Though we do have gas clothes dryers we also have plenty of clothesline space around each residential area. Some of us would never use a dryer.
Cistern. Located next to Kaweah building, used to water gardens. As of early 2004 this is the only cistern we have but more are planned. Our normally wet climate experienced a multiyear drought recently which increased interest in this technology.

Super efficient water heater. Condensing propane water heater over 90% fuel efficient. Provides backup hot water for Beechside-Kaweah.
Conservation aka resource/energy efficiency takes many forms. In some ways how we live is inherently more resource efficient than the way most people live--shared vehicle fleet, share equipment, shared living space, etc etc.
