Rainwater catchment and low flush toilets to the black water system. Use of locally made products from meat and vegetables to earthenware for "glasses" and plates. A wind generator for heavy electric grill loads and solar hot water. Only open on sunny days (or use of super high efficiency cookers)! Promoting healthy low meat , high anti-oxidant meals. Large red worm composters for scraps. >>Cloth napkins to be washed in a Staber solar washing machine. Dishes washed in a similar low water/power use high efficiency solar dish washer.<< Grey water to garden unit. >> No paper or plastic use<<, and minimal aluminum can and glass bottle use, for recycling or re-use. The tilted glass windows would have insulated automatic rolling shutters, the gardens automatic solar sensing drip irrigation. Only local non-immigrants hired for staff.
