We use no-tilling methods, mulching, spaces to enjoy the garden, companion planting: [[kuckucksmuehle:documentation:garden|Garden]] ==== reuse & recycle ==== We're recycling mostly into the German recycling system: seperating glass, paper, green point/yellow bin (90% of package material falls in this category), rest garbage. We reuse certain kind of bottles, jars, egg boxes, paper carton, plastic containers. We compost all organic materials. We built a compost toilet and produce humanure for the garden. ==== conserving resources like water, soil, … ==== We want to collect rainwater for our needs (still in process). We try to avoid harming the soil by using non tilling methods in the garden. We try to buy/organise regrowing wood from responsible forests in our region. ==== avoiding use of chemicals/pesticides ==== For sure we don't use chemicals or pesticides in the garden. :) We want to produce our own soap to reduce chemicals in shampoos and soap we use - body hygiene and for dish washing. ==== preserve & rehabilitate nature ==== ==== repopulation of flora & fauna ==== ==== use of natural products (hygiene) ==== ===== Appropriate Technology Using Programming Skills ===== ==== development & implementation of solution based designs/programmes ==== ==== evolve routines to automations ==== ==== intelligent energy management ==== We use solar energy and wood heating and buffer it for hot water and the heating. It needs still adjustment to perform better but the system is a really good start for improvements. We also plan to build a Biomeiler to reduce our heating costs. ===== Reducing Poverty ===== ==== using local resources ==== ==== create low cost solutions for eco farming ==== ==== living off the grid when possible ==== We have our own black and gray water treatment system. Also a compost toilet. We use wood as our heating resource and getting it from cutting own trees and local forests owned by locals. ===== Connecting People ===== ==== encouraging collaboration ==== ==== collaboration with other similar projects/communities ==== ==== involving the local community ==== ===== Building an Inclusive Community ===== ==== respecting all members of the community ==== ==== providing a safe space ==== ==== members of the community can participate offline (local) and online ==== ===== Social Activities ===== ==== gatherings ==== See [[Events]] ==== festivals ==== We organise a non public festival. ===== Education, Art and Culture ===== ==== workshops ==== ==== internships ==== ==== volunteering programmes ==== ==== skill sharing ==== ==== documentation of the project ==== ==== opensource ==== ===== Democracy (Liquid/Grassroot/...) ===== ==== to decide on priorities ==== ==== use of monetary resources ==== kuckucksmuehle/ideal_fullfillment.txt Last modified: 2019/02/15 13:34by aimeejulia
