this guys approach to to eco living is mind blowing wack a solar panel or two on top and you could almost be totally self sufficient i like his idea about repairing soils which have trashed by poor farming practices .

the biggest issue is having access to a clean water source although the use of some thing called duck weed to remove heavy metals ect could most likely be used.

i also noticed this on youtube

this also makes more sense than a lot of the energy and resource hungry water purification systems available i believe there is most likely a bacterial soloution to most of the pollution caused by man its just a matter of finding the right bacteria to convert a toxic waste back into a an inert or non toxic form.

i have also come across research that suggests composting can reverse the effects of radiation contaminated land which again points to our little friends microorganisms .

we have been taught as a society to fear bugs or microorganisms to the extent that we disinfect just about every thing we come in contact with when in reality we cannot survive on this planet with out them .

the japanese have been using a technology called em effective microorganims for some years now with apparently miraculous results i first read of them in
the secret life of water by masaru emoto

how can we love our selves if we hate and kill the things that allow us to exist ?

zero waste water usage kept to a minimum and you get two crops fish and vegetables there is power usage but its minimal compared with other systems the water savings zero waste offset the power usage.

the fish poop which has accumulated in the water gets pumped through gravel beds bacteria form in the gravel and convert the poop into usable plant food the plants suck it up and grow profusely the water drains back into the fish tank cleaned aerating the water happy fish organic vegetable and the cycle starts again.

that is how nature and the universe works each entity plays its role in creation each depends on the other with out the energy and the cycle the whole system fails.
have we substituted love/light for oil have we forgotten the universal cycle ?
