Lotus Eco Village Vision
Our vision is to establish a cohousing neighbourhood based on the principles of caring, sharing and cooperation in harmony with the planet.
A community that will serve as a model of social, environmental and financial sustainability.
• To design and construct a cohesive neighbourhood whose layout, buildings and services demonstrate the highest practical standards of sustainable human settlement.
• To develop and foster a living environment which uses clear communication, decision-making and conflict resolution guidelines that promote tolerance, safety, respect and co-operation.
• To assist in education and public awareness of sustainability by demonstrating and promoting innovative community design and environmentally responsible construction promoting reduce, reuse, recycle and repair.
• To create a new future for young families by establishing a true inter-generational community who cares for each other, and believes it takes a village to raise a child.

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 gustaría ofrecerles un curso para aprender, profundizar e intercambiar los conocimientos teóricos y prácticos sobre el cuidado de agua. El curso va a estar enfocado principalmente en el tema de saneamiento ecológico de aguas residuales, cubriendo a la vez los aspectos teóricos de potabilización de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Vamos a aprender como diseñar y construir un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas grises a través de la construcción de humedales artificiales de flujo subsuperficial, en cuales se trata de la utilización 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 países 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, música y baños en una poza cercana. El curso va a estar dividido en partes teóricas y prácticas. La parte práctica va a incluir – Diseño de un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas residuales – las tuberías, tratamiento primario (trampas de grasa y tanques sépticos), tratamiento secundario (Humedales Artificiales de Flujo Subsuperficial), riego con aguas grises. – Construcción de una trampa de grasa como el tratamiento primario – Preparación de un humedal artificial de flujo horizontal – impermeabilización y conexiones. Parte teórica va a cubrir la introducción a la potabilización de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Para mejorar nuestra experiencia educativa vamos a definir los aspec
