Wastewater Gardener - Mark (Mark Nelson) Nelson - Bog

- Preserving the Planet One Flush at a Time

Bag om Wastewater Gardener

Mark Nelson takes us on a global expedition to learn how we are wasting the world''s dwindling supplies of fresh water by flushing away a very valuable resource, our own human wastes!  A founding director of the Institute of Ecotechnics, Dr. Nelson has worked for several decades in closed ecological system research. As one of eight brave souls enclosed in the pioneering Biosphere 2 experiment, he realised how essential the proper re-use of human waste is to the health of the planet. This led to what Dr. Nelson calls a life-long love affair with constructed wetlands, where he discovered an important solution to some of our trickiest global dilemmas: Wastewater Gardens. While the problems covered in this book are very serious, Dr. Nelson''s approach to the subject makes for a delightful, down-to-earth read.
