“The existing water-based waste disposal economy is not viable. There are too many households, factories, and feedlots to simply try and wash waste away on our crowded planet. To do so is ecologically mindless and outdated—an approach that belongs to a time when there were far fewer people and far less economic activity.”

Thanks Oyvind! The article interests us so much! And, we fully agree with the observation that
it’s seeing the world from a different perspective, the “permaculture perspective”.

Thank you, Oyvind, for a wonderful article. I am printing it out for bed-time reading and thinking.

Also thanks for the link to Living Neighbourhoods. I’d not come across them before. More bed-time reading (think I’ll just give up on the sleep bit!) relevant to a ‘thesis’ I am writing. There’s a lot of serendipity about at the moment _ must be the pollen from your flower!
