GBlist: Single residence Living Machines
Someone was asking about this, and I thought this might be of
interest
The Living Machine
Jim Davis, creator of the Garfield comic strip, has a system in his
studio called a "living machine." The "living machine" converts sink
drainage and raw sewage into clean water using ordinary marine
organisms. It's like a multi-celled aquatic compost heap. A version of
this "living machine" is being evaluated as a replacement for a
conventional sewage plant, and a "living machine" that can service a
community of 30,000 people is now being built in Mexico.
