SPCC A Casa Amarela

our new guest is a diy-eco expert, and she got us to do a composting toilet in 15 minutes. it's almost done, once it is, we'll post a story about it. for now, it's pretty nice to see excitement to build things again. right now we're looking for places where to get bags of sawdust. we're also considering closing our paper loop by shredding it and using it for the composting toilet. we closed the glass loop recently by using it as bricks (a la earthship), but a lot of our stuff is still being trashed instead of being recycled.

we are aware that even though we're planting trees and composting and etc, we will not benefit from any of it. the building is either going to be torn down or we're getting evicted way before we stabilize the humanure/permaculture/recycling cycles. but not doing it would be ideologically incoherent with the kind of house we're building. we want to make a public statement on how we can live in sustainable way in the middle of a big city. here are the waste cycles and the loop we're closing.
