brad lancaster

brad lancaster was mentioned early on when i was seeking connections in tucson. i was told he's hard to get a hold of, and i began to understand why. he is doing a lot of really good work in rainwater harvesting and related areas to help people achieve a lower ecological impact and support natural abundance. then of course he has a personal life outside of work. he is a man in high demand because he is taking action on what so many of us want to, working towards sustainability. and he's doing it with a smile!

i was not able to chat with him, but got to introduce myself when i went over to use his composting toilet for a second time. he was just about to start a tour and first session of a permaculture course. the first time used the toilet, the previous evening, i met his very pleasant brother rodd. their toilet room is very spacious and comfortable. they are very particular about how one makes a deposit, so that safety measures are followed. walking through their small garden i felt like i was within a sacred place. it was very orderly and well-tended. the vegetable beds were densely planted and mulched.
