Title: Re: Swale Question

Hi all,

 

We are very excited about this work shop and thought those of you in the US may want to know about it. The intention is for people who are planning events, activist action camps or other large gatherings of people on land. It is also for people who plan to help people in disaster areas of earthquake, war, floods etc to build temporary settlements that are ecologically sound and maintain appropriate hygene.  We will be exploring and building many different types of cooking, water filtration,  solar showers, sewage systems and will have a discussion about solar hydrogen.  If you know anyone who might be interested please let them know. We have space for a few more people.

 

Warm regards,

 

Penny & James
