Four wind turbines located just outside the village provide the rest of the electricity. The villagers are constantly looking into other kinds of renewable or recycled resources to create power. In fact, Findhorn often creates more power than it actually needs to maintain the whole village. Whenever there's a surplus, the extra power is sold to the local government! The eco houses employ a wide range of recycling and energy saving techniques.

Water from baths and showers is recycled and walls are insulated using old newspapers and sheep's wool. Even the sewage is recycled! The 'Living Machine'' is a natural machine, made from plants, animals and micro organisms, that copies nature's own way of recycling its waste. Opened in 1995,, the 'Living Machine'' is a 75 meter long, 30 meter wide greenhouse where all the sewage from all the houses in the village is cleaned and recycled. The sewage moves from one natural, non chemical stage to the next, each time being 'treated', or cleaned, by natural algae, plants and microorganisms.
