What we do

It’s time for us to think seriously about nature, how we avoid destroying it and even rebuild them back. It’s never too late, and the time is now.
Indonesia is my home country, I’m fortunate enough to be able to buy a piece of land on the islands of Togean, in center Sulawesi. But there are still fish bombing and very poor village in the surroundings. And I would like to create an ecolodge island using recycle wood, build a sustainable food forest, rebuild the corals and aquamarine, create activities for locals to be involved, and at the same time educating people to be able to live independently without capitalism, and support from government.
Here’s brief info of the island.
Name : Togo Eang. (https://www.facebook.com/togoeang/).
Location : https://satellites.pro/Indonesia_map#-0.471204,121.717426,17 Togean Islands, Sulawesi Indonesia.
The island is about 1 hectare covered fully with trees and there’s about 50 meters of sandy beach. It is an off-grid location with no electricity, water or phone connection. The nearest village is about 5 min boat ride with around 400 population producing copra from coconut, patchouli, and cocoa. Currently, we are getting water once a week from this village. We have installed 1500 watt of solar panels for electricity and satellite for internet connection. I also have a wooden boat to go around.
I would need help from like-minded people who have experience in anything related to this project such as designing, construction, gardening, tourism, social work, and others.
Although Togean Island recently listed under Biosfer International from UNESCO, the local community in the village around Togean Islands didn’t get enough support from the local government. There are way too much corruption and lack of education which lead to many economic and social problems.
My goal is to create a strong educational community that can help villages around Togean to get income without destroying the environment.

Sogutlucesme Cad. No: 196/3 Detailed info (Turkish): http://yeryuzudernegi.org/projedetay.php?id=51 Coordinators: SULE GONULSUZ sulegonulsuz@hotmail.com NURIYE KAYALI kayalinuriye@gmail.com We use local seeds and we provided those seeds from people who make organical farming. After we procure those seeds, we put them on a cycle. We organized “Seed Exchange Days”, where people could meet and exchange their seeds, their knowledge and experiences. We tried to take it one step further and we are trying to categorize the seeds. For example, -there is a bean seed. But which type of bean seed is it? Or we try to categorize the seeds according to their durabilty in which city they could grow. We believe that all the seeds in the World are people’s seeds and we want to share them with everyone.

Ecotratamiento de Aguas Residuales

Agua es vida, el recurso más importante de todos. Desde la perspectiva de Sunseed como un centro educativo sobre la vida de bajo impacto nos gustarĂ­a ofrecerles un curso para aprender, profundizar e intercambiar los conocimientos teĂłricos y prácticos sobre el cuidado de agua. El curso va a estar enfocado principalmente en el tema de saneamiento ecolĂłgico de aguas residuales, cubriendo a la vez los aspectos teĂłricos de potabilizaciĂłn de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Vamos a aprender como diseñar y construir un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas grises a travĂ©s de la construcciĂłn de humedales artificiales de flujo subsuperficial, en cuales se trata de la utilizaciĂłn de plantas acuáticas para depurar las aguas residuales que han tenido un tratamiento primario. Los humedales artificiales son canales de gravilla sembrados con las plantas depuradoras, han sido aplicadas y debidamente reguladas en varios paĂ­ses de Europa y ofrecen una alternativa sana y segura tanto para autogestionar los recursos de agua como poder reutilizar agua tratada en un hogar. Usando herramientas como power point, videos y charlas vamos a aprender sobre el diseño y aspectos claves para tener en cuenta construyendo nuestro sistema casero. En tiempo libre vamos a divertirnos con juegos, mĂşsica y baños en una poza cercana. El curso va a estar dividido en partes teĂłricas y prácticas. La parte práctica va a incluir – Diseño de un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas residuales – las tuberĂ­as, tratamiento primario (trampas de grasa y tanques sĂ©pticos), tratamiento secundario (Humedales Artificiales de Flujo Subsuperficial), riego con aguas grises. – ConstrucciĂłn de una trampa de grasa como el tratamiento primario – PreparaciĂłn de un humedal artificial de flujo horizontal – impermeabilizaciĂłn y conexiones. Parte teĂłrica va a cubrir la introducciĂłn a la potabilizaciĂłn de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Para mejorar nuestra experiencia educativa vamos a definir los aspec
