Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 7:30 pm at L.A. Eco-Village Directions
Greywater Guerillas from Oakland http://www.greywaterguerrillas.com/
Be inspired! Be wise! Learn how you can disengage from the Water Grid using Rainwater, Greywater, and Composting Toilets. Greywater Guerillas will connect the water in our lives to local and global water struggles, help us look at rainwater as a resource, explore options for reusing greywater, and contemplate waterless (composting) toilets. From the apartment, to the house, to the city, ecological sanitation (ecosan*) offers a path to a sustainable and just water future. The Guerillas draw SRO crowds in Oakland and waiting lines for their workshops. Come and learn and welcome them to Los Angeles.
