[Sdpg] Compost toilet workshop Nov.12-14 Lompoc California

[Wesley Roe and Marjorie Lakin Erickson]

Hello Everyone,

ELF - Environmental Learning Foundation is pleased to present….

Get Your **it Together – How to Build a Composting Toilet
Friday, November 12, 4 p.m. – Sunday, November 14, 5 p.m.
Rancho La Vina, Lompoc (60 miles north of Santa Barbara, Calif.)

Please join us for a weekend of learning and fun as we build composting
toilets with Joe Jenkins, author of The Humanure Handbook: A Guide to 
Composting
Human Manure. Joe’s book was winner of the Independent Publisher 2000
Outstanding Book of the Year Award, deemed "the book most likely to save 
the planet!"

"We will be building sawdust toilets and I expect that everyone will take
home their own sawdust toilet (turds not included)," says Joe. "I will also
explain their use, humanure recycling and composting fundamentals." A Humanure
Handbook and a Balance Point book will be included for all participants,
personally signed by the author.

This unique workshop will take place on wild and scenic Rancho La Vina, a
2,800-acre private ranch near Lompoc. The land offers amazing walks through 
shady
oak canyons and open grasslands with breathtaking views. The peace and
tranquility here will calm your mind and rejuvenate your soul. We will 
spend the
evenings enjoying a campfire, music and drumming.

Price: $275 for adults, $135 for children and youth. Price includes all
instruction, materials, delicious organic meals, car or tent camping and a 
free
copy of The Humanure Handbook. Work exchanges may be available, please e-mail
