while in tucson i have spent a fair amount of time online exploring projects related to the theme of my trip. here i've compiled links to the videos and websites that i felt could be interesting or useful to you.
humanure composting is one topic that is of great interest to me. it could greatly increase our quality of life to recycle this valuable resource. when i searched for videos of joseph jenkins i found this one i had not seen of a project in haiti, this one of a visit to mongolia, a related project in guatemala (with a fun soundtrack!), and a couple videos about the loveable loo, one of which is a music video.
cob ovens are another helpful technology i'm interested in. i found a wonderful video of a project in spokane, wa. the woman who led this project has a company with her husband called firespeaking.
there is a strong urban agriculture presence in detroit and i watched every video i could find related to it on youtube:
urban farming detroit
urban farming detroit (cont)
brother nature farm
farmer and the philosopher
building the green city
infuse
tour
i then found one of a goat birth in seattle! these are acquaintances of mine actually.
another project i discovered is called lammas. on their website you can find videos of their community and related places. i found it all very encouraging and wonderful!
brad lancaster is someone in tucson who is notorious as a advocate of permaculture and water harvesting. in the second volume of his rainwater harvesting books i read the inspiring story of a village in india that cooperatively increased it's viability through rainwater harvesting techniques. we could do the same in our communities! this organization in rajastan, india, continues to support this work.
