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 Permaculture
