      Seed School is an innovative 5-day school designed to help
participants create new regional and sustainable seed production and
distribution systems. The workshop trains gardeners, farmers, seed
savers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, policy makers and anyone interested in
turning the tide on the industrialization of our food and agriculture.

      Many growers are still purchasing one-size-fits-all seed every
year. They could (and should!) be saving seeds they grow selected for
the qualities and characteristics that work best for them. Those
seeds get planted the following year increasing regional adaptability
and true sustainability. This is diversity at its best. And we all
know the saying: The strength of any ecosystem is a function of its
diversity.

      Classroom time in this permaculture inspired program ranges from
an introduction to genetics to modern database management (for those
wishing to start a seed business or add a seed component to an
existing organization). It is balanced with hands-on activities
including harvesting, processing, germination testing and packaging
seeds.  Special guest presenters this time include Toby Hemenway and
Gary Nabhan.  Field trips round out your Seed School experience. Seed
School takes place in the gorgeous Verde Valley in Arizona.

We would like to hear input from those with experience with composting toilets. About to purchase and don't want to make an expensive poor decision.

Thanks all,

I am here to announced that Brad Lancaster will be speaking at San Diego
State University on Wednesday February 9th, 2011 at 5:30pm.  The room is
called Casa Real located in the Aztec Center.  He will talk about water
sustainability in San Diego, rainwater and greywater harvesting.  Engineers
without Borders-SDSU (http://ewb.sdsu.edu) and CASE is sponsoring this event



Brad Lancaster is a dynamic teacher, consultant, and designer of
regenerative systems. He is the author of the award-winning, best-selling
books *Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond*, the information-packed
website www.HarvestingRainwater.com <http://www.harvestingrainwater.com/>,
and the Drops in a Bucket Blog. He lives his talk on an oasis-like eighth of
an acre in downtown Tucson, Arizona, by harvesting over 100,000 gallons of
rainwater a year where just 12 inches per year falls from the sky.
