Ecobricks

[Trudy Juriansz]

Dear Alex,

Its great to hear from you and that you are interested to join the ecobricks dialogue group of GENOA. 

I saw from your message that you are working on ecobricks in Zanzibar. It will be great to hear more about what you are up to and how we can support your work. 

I'm copying our communications pod, so we can dialogue further.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm wishes,

Trudy

Hi Trudy, 

I hope this email finds you well. 

My sincerest apologies for the late reply, between internet troubles and running around it completely slipped my mind! 

Thank you for your interest in our project. We hope to change the relationship between people and their waste (and nature) by showcasing easy to use methods to construct and create with this resource. We are building and Eco Expo Centre out of waste materials and natural alternatives to current methods. We also would like to train the community on using these methods and purchase some materials, like Ecobricks and Ubuntublox, from specifically supported groups. We want to incorporate new ways of crafting and using these normally disposed materials. We will also create and interactive educational area around the building which include massive structures made out of plastics and vertical gardens etc. 

Personally I have never taken on such a big task, although I am determined to make it amazing! If you have any advice to offer, it will be greatly appreciated! If there is any way I can add value to your network/projects I am happy to do so. 

Thanks again for the support, I hope you have a great weekend! 

Kind regards, 

Celeste

Hi Celeste,

Great to learn more about your work!

For a bit more background: GENOA, the Global Ecovillage Network of Oceania and Asia, is a network of folks who are passionate about ecovillage as a lifestyle, whether in an intentional community or through one's own lifestyle and work. With ecobricks on the rise throughout south and southeast Asia, many folks here are finding that the ecobricks movement resonates with the ecovillage consciousness not just as a waste management system, but as a powerful and rhizomatic opening for raising consciousness of consumption patterns, attitudes towards the very concept of waste, deep ecology, and more. 

The Ecobricks dialogue pod is open to people from all over the world recognizing that folks here can benefit from understanding ecobrick applications and wisdom from beyond the Asia-Pacific region! Feel free to share any updates about your work, especially of best practices that would be relevant and inspiring to communities in this region.

I've never worked on a project of that scale and scope myself, and don't have too much advice to offer except for cheering you on from here!

Best wishes,

Carly
