This on-line blog/magazine offers low-tech solutions to problems that we pour untold amounts of money and sweat into to solve. Its current front page is entitled:
The solar envelope: how to heat and cool cities without fossil fuels. That sounds pretty useful to me. I often joke that in 50k years archaeologists will discover that air conditioning caused global warming.
The magazine covers all kinds of low road tech from basketry to distribution networks to hand powered tools and machines. It's quite a fun read. We tend to think modern technology can solve all our current problems when perhaps old-time, low-tech already has.
Its brother publication,
No Tech Magazine takes you even further towards the stone age.
