Hi! I absolutely love what you do!!! I was just wondering if you have ever thought about using composting for the toilets instead of a septic system?
Thanks-

Good day. I am planning one for my beach property in Mindanao, Philippines. Three problems come to mine, cooling, vapour from coolling in such high humidity, and with 12hrs daylight, enough solar power during the rainy season May to October.

Will the temperature 4ft down still be 58oF? Probably much warmer being it is hot all year around there. And, when/if the air is cooled / cold air can hold much less moisure than warm air and it will condense as moisture? How many solor panels would be required for rainy season, or must it be suplemented with wind power?

Hello,

My name is Marta Levy from São Paulo, Brazil. Currently I am in the fourth year of architecture and urbanism and I always had interest in bioconstruction and I would love to have an experience of living in a community that works with it, and gain experiences in studies of sustainability, new materials, new technologies, energy efficiency and optimization of natural resourses in building contruction
I am writing you to know if you can receive me to work and maybe establish an exchange…

Here in Brazil I´ve already had experiences at the institute of Permaculture of the Atlantic Forest ( www.ipemabrasil.org.br) and also at the Institute of Permaculture of Savannah (www.ecocentro.com.br).

In case you are interested in my profile and wish to contact me I can tell more about me and my experiences in Brazil.

Thank you in advance for our attention

I look forward to hearing for you.

Marta Levy
