Earthy space for recycled waste

Earthy space for recycled waste : "Fast-forward to the present, and the Co-operative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment, based at the University of South Australia, is testing ways of turning millions of tonnes of industrial waste into soil for gardens, yards, parks and residential estates."

Read the whole article. It's fascinating. It's a way of using fly ash ,in particular, with all sorts of waste material which will enrich our soils and increase water holding capacity. I'm inspired! We need to hear more about this project. It is critical to what we need but it's also amazingly interesting as a process. It is pulling together a whole number of our problems and using them to fix other problems. Don't you think that's clever? I hope Professor Haynes gets himself out there to bring us the news and information!...the book, the YouTube video, the podcast..the DVD...the T Shirts, the calico bags. Truly. I am not joking. This is is a great green idea. What about the home kit, so we can have our own ecological experiment at home??
