Earthship build going well!
26 February 2015
Kia ora everybody! Leo here, sending this email from Te Timatanga Earthship build.
I am learning so much abut cob construction, mudbrick, rammed tires and thermal mass. Have been doing plumbing as well, and designing the planter system and grey water/black water cycles. I am camping in a nearby forest of kahikatea, kanuka and ferns. It's full of beautiful birds also!
I was asked to give a presentation on permaculture and last night it went really well. I went through the 'invisible structures' of permaculture - community, society and political structures, green finance and alternatives to the banking system, land access and stewardship. The level of conversation has really risen since the talk and everybody is really humming on collaboration and positive change.
Thankyou all for your contributions I really really really really appreciate it! We are just $15 off our goal which is so exciting!
