Living Machines, Greywater, Constructed Wetlands

Greenbuilding consultant Roy Nordblom will present a talk on living machines, greywater, and constructed wetlands. He will lead a tour of the sustainable features at the ELSEE campus, including greywater and rainwater systems with edible native wetland species providing rootmass and biofilter in the greywater bog the garden sink, which combines greywater, reclaimed water, a solar fountain with a living aquarium, and serves as a visual teaching tool (and also an outdoor sink!)
The class will look over the aquaponics project(s) underway, the living wall, and will discuss ELSEE's effort to become one of the first Sustainable Sites. You will learn how you can use bioengineering in your own home in a group brainstorming session. Potluck lunch to follow.
