My son considered building a passive house with a grass roof just next to mine a couple of years ago, but costs and the recession intervened!  He got as far as applying for planning permission and the planners didn't have a problem with it so maybe in the next few years...!  We do have a septic tank system for our sewage and I have seen and blogged a reed recycling system near Copenhagen.  If your ever back this way, feel free to visit!

Sorry to hear about your son's building plans having to be put on hold, hopefully it will get back on track soon.

Thanks for the link to an excellent diary. It's nice to know you are involved in doing such good work, and getting the word out. I'd be in hogs heaven if my village here in Finland were to decide to go the route of Dyssekilde Ecovillage. That is just way too cool!! Totally off the grid, using recycled materials, and sharing. I think it's a concept whose time has come. I just hope it can continue to get enough good press to become fashionable, creating a situation where people are willing to give it a go.  I'd sure be thrilled to be part of the process. Thinking globally, but acting locally.

And absolutely, positively, and of course, I would welcome any opportunity whatsoever to come back your way . . . and would definitely take you up on your kind offer to visit!
