Sister Projects in this context are all non-RBE and non-RBE-like ecological projects that exist in the world and share elements in common with RBE objectives or values. The purpose of this page is learning from their features, qualities, similarities and differences, successes and failures, experiences, contact details, history, etc. This page is most valuable in conjunction with the Technical Resources page.
