I am fairly certain the New Alchemy Institute is no more. There is,
however, a successor organization with a related mission and, I think, the
same principals (Nancy and John Todd), called Ocean Arks International.
Their address as listed in a recent book called "From Eco-Cities to Living
Machines, Principles of Ecological Design" (published in 1994) is One
Locust Street., Falmouth, MA 02540. No phone number or email address is
listed.

Good Luck
