“The METI school in Rudrapur Dinajpu, Bangledesh teaches the invaluable lesson of green design through its very earthen structure. Architects Anna Heringer and Eike Roswag directed a team of local parents, teachers, school children and craftsman in building the primary school by hand using raw materials including bamboo, straw, jute rope and the ancient building material cob (a layered mixture of wet earth, rice, straw and jute). Completed in just four months time, the collaborative effort has created a meaningful environment wherein rural children may pave a more fruitful future for themselves by receiving an education.”

Friend’s Wedding in Auckland, New Zealand.

Meeting global sanitation needs continues to be a serious health concern and poor sanitation is a considerable source of disease. In fact, according to The World Toilet Organization (WTO) more than 2.6 billion people (including 980 million children) do not have access to clean, safe and hygienic toilets.  Enter Poosh. The sanitation bucket concept offers a bucket-mounted toilet for use in places that lack access to proper toilets.

The ingenious design can be used with a wide range of bucket shapes and sizes and includes biodegradable bags, complete with decomposition chemicals, to collect the waste. After two weeks the human waste (humanure) can be safely used as a fertilizer.
