To John Todd and his colleagues in UK
It is interesting to know that there are a growing number of living machines in the UK; the one planned at the Earth Centre (1998) and those constructed at the Body Shop International (1996), and Findhorn Foundation (1995). These would be the nearest sites for Europeans to visit.
Q: Do you have any contact persons (email addresses) whom we could contact ?
Stepen Clark (a participant here) worked for the Earth Centre a few years ago with plans for a microbrewery where all waste outputs will go into an integrated bio-system for water treatment with fish cultivation, aquaponics, etc.
Q: Is OAI cooperating to do this microbrewery project ?
The BOD of the influent at Findhorn Foundation site (http://www.livingmachines.com/projects/specific/findhorn.html) is 500 mg/l (1995/96 data) while that at the Earth Centre is 1,700 mg/l (estimated).
Q: is there any special reason why the BOD at the Earth Centre is significantly higher ?
