Kevin McCloud's Shed in the Woods ..ABC

This has been absolutely fascinating...   and  very timely... 

just look at the projects he has completed in this...  with a lot of help from like-minded individuals.. 

Amazing methane-producing ordure,...!!!   Grin
What an absolutely amazing  effort... to show what can be done,,,


and the WASTE we produce....gross isn't it..??..  the sheer obscenity of the amount of resources we waste, unthinkingly, uncaringly...  I mean....   

very thought provoking.

I wonder if I could re-engineer my septic tank into an energy-producing + ??

I'm sure most of us have had some awareness of  sustainability..  but

this program  ..  I believe it... 


This should be a guide...
(for once the cities have imploded ... and the systems failed...  ???)   No no 

This should be a guide,  a pointer >>>>  to re-learning pre- industrial , pre-corp , necessary skills and attitudes.

Primary among them??

Finding the people who KNOW and getting them involved.... ie  creating  community....



FOR NOW....

You didn't see this?  Try it... it has some truly intersting ideas...

C'mon Emma, there was nothing new to you in the show was there? It was a bit of a larf I enjoyed it but I think his excursion to the slums of Delhi was more thought provoking.

ll I thought the lesson on tanning deer hide in the brains of the animal that used to wear it,  was fascinating...  never heard of that one before.  Smiley

I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'd actually prefer to use a vat of collected stale urine Cheesy

hee heh

yeah this show kind of sticks with me. Grin

also impressed by his foray to a lion park,  to obtain buckets and buckets of lion poo  .. after realising that collecting dog poo from local dog parks wasn't going to provide enough shti   Grin

and loved the jet casing hot tub..!!.

-  he shows exemplary and positive staunchness and determination...
..almost above and beyond  ...  almost.

of course... if I had his connections,  I'd make some changes here too.!!!
