Just got back. PHLUSH is meeting today (5:30 pm 203 NW 2nd) and we've been talking about field trips. Can we collaborate? Yes, indeed one is the Living Machine at the new Port of Portland HQ. Also the struvite recovery plant in Tigard, the Phoenix composting toilets at East Multnomah County Soil and Water District and Government Island, and maybe a tour of key backyards. How about a fall series? Carol Molly and Matthew, So sorry to miss this trip. Just got back. PHLUSH is meeting today (5:30 pm 203 NW 2nd) and we’ve been talking about field trips. Can we collaborate?

I've only had a quick look at your site but am amazed at your creativity and concern with waste. An interesting link that I've stumbled upon recently is http://www.livingmachines.com/water_facts/commentary/the_way_the_romans_did_why_we_need_a_new_paradigm/ This one from a commercial process invokes Roman models of infrastructure. More details and links can be found in this article: http://www.wired.com/science/planetearth/magazine/17-06/st_sewagegrid which also has a link to an installation at PDX airport/Port of Portland. Another field trip possibility! Meg aka Petronella Molly and Matthew,

I have worked on several projects down there, and was wondering if Stan and I could tag along. I'd like to show off my digester control building design to Stan cause he has never seen it and was hoping that i knew one of the engineers taking you out.
