Laundry to Landscape: A Simple, Efficient, Economical, Easy-to-Use Greywater System. This instructional video explains how to design, build and use “laundry to landscape” greywater systems. These are the simplest, most economical greywater systems to install by owners or renters, and they provide good green collar job opportunities for self-employed installers or landscape, plumbing, or construction businesses.
Loved it, I wish I had found your website few months earlier. Will follow your blogs thanks!
What a nice obituary for Ed Marston. I love this quote: “Most of all, he was grateful that he and his family chose, 44 years ago, to make a leap of faith and settle in the small town of Paonia, a place Marston protected, agitated and cherished.”
I think sometimes we forget that the biggest agitators are the ones who cherish their towns the most.
The article about Puerto Rico was especially fascinating. People in places like the Pacific Northwest, where we’re overdue for a catastrophic earthquake, should take note of the failures of the grid/politics as usual/the system, as well as the successes that people were able to achieve by working together.
