Common Circle Education is thrilled to present an innovative all-
day workshop on design of greywater, rainwater harvesting and
composting toilets with Laura Allen, founder of Greywater
Action of Oakland!
Topics covered:
- Greywater reuse: using water from sinks, showers and washing
machines to irrigate plants, is a way to increase the productivity
of sustainable backyard ecosystems that produce food, clean
water, and shelter wildlife.
- Composting and dry toilets: use of natural processes to turn
human excreta into a valuable soil amendment. They typically
use no water, or very little water in commercial scale applications.
- Rainwater harvesting: Harvesting rainwater can reduce our
need--and demand--for water transport systems that threaten
the health of the water cycle and our local environments.
