Bio-construction is a way to reduce the ecological footprint of buildings, recycle resources, reuse raw materials, reduce energy use in the construction and running of a building, increase efficiency and customize buildings to your personal preferences. It also is an opportunity to create a functional work of art that enhances the natural landscape, instead of impairing it. We will be building a dry composting toilet and we want to invite you to participate in the various phases of its construction with the opportunity to volunteer in between. You will learn to conceive, plan and build the structures you need using local renewable natural materials like wood and clay.
