The Living Building Challenge
Eco-Sense 
Thankyou for presenting these 3 workshops.
I was truly educated & was given perfect logic to the method of pipes & tanks & collections with diagrams & tours of real working systems
No doubt in my mind to build these services into my home for security & integrity. I bought Bairds book on Composting Toilets plus just received Rainwater Harvesting book from regional district of Nanaimo. I request the links to supporting charts from classes to my email.
Thanks for huge wonderful meal of organic produce grown on their homestead. So healthy
Both Bairds are my mentors & civic leaders.
Thanks Jennifer. We are so pleased that you found all the workshops useful. Gord will be sharing the resources links with workshop participants.
All the best,
Ann
