Toilets, Toilets everywhere, but not one has to stink!

You've heard Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner", paraphrased as "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink".  And you are probably aware that in most parts of the world the contamination of drinking water and other fresh water supplies has a lot to do with toilets.  Poorly designed toilets. Poorly discharged toilets. Poorly treated toilet wastes.

How Green Collar Jobs can reverse the Brain Drain and create a BRAIN GAIN.

What’s the best way to give Germans of all socioeconomic backgrounds a tangible stake in fighting for issues like global warming?

Easy: Make it their livelihood. Imagine what would happen if millions of everyday jobs—plus new ones created for people who are currently unemployed—were in fields like renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and green building.

Dispelling myths surrounding the domestic dragon

1.  Does biogas pose a climate change hazard? Isn't biogas methane, the same gas that is 25 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide?

2.  Does biogas scale up? Can we use waste water treatment facilities to treat our food wastes?  If so, why wouldn't that be better than trying to do this at the home or community scale.

3. Could biogas be generated IN the kitchen, under the sink for example? Could it be incorporated into new kitchen designs?






Brief overview of the work of your organization:

Cold Climate Adaptations - Experimental Week at Tamera Solar Village, Portugal

Cold nights and seasons are considered as an obstacle that keeps biogas solutions away from northern areas and out of permaculture and sustainability projects. The experimental week in August 2015 at the Tamera Solar Village was therefore dedicated to find and try out affordable insulations and heating methods that can be applied throughout the world.
