Cob: $500 ??#$"#$!

[Ocean]

Indeed!

The Humanure philosophy makes a lot more sense than dumping our sh*t
into a plastic underground tank that has to be pumped out and shipped
away every few years or so, with the ever-present possibility of
polluting our own groundwater supply.

Why not compost our waste, return it to our food chain as nutrients? 
Sure, it takes a little more work, and you have to get more familiar
with handling sh*t safely, but hey, being so far removed from the
cycles of life is what's gotten us cushy Americans into such an
environmental nightmare.

Aren't we into cob (and other natural building methods) because we are
wanting to return to a more harmonious way of living?

Ianto is a master recycler (which some of us may call a "dumpster
diver") and he did indeed build his house out of 99% recycled
materials.  He sh*ts in a composting toilet he built himself from
recycled plywood, saves his p*ss in a 5 gallon jug to apply directly to
his garden (the pure nitrogen kills weeds and feeds alliums just what
they want!), taps water from a spring, and is the best example of a
person living up to his own ideals as I've ever met.  I'd love to say I
follow my own ideals as well, but I'd be lying.

So please don't respond to the "$500" question with such profanity
(??#$"#$!), unless of course you are living a more harmonious
lifestyle...
