The Skill Share Studio hopes to be a model for sustainability and localized global responsibility. We are continually improving our impact, especially in regard to water. We save around 75,000 gallons of clean, drinkable water from the waste stream every year through our humanure composting system and greywater sink.
We feel passionately about not contaminating our waters while stripping soils of precious nutrients. The humanure method, perfected by Joseph Jenkins, is a simple and safe way that we can take responsibility for our lives here on this planet.

Recode is a community-based group examining how city and state regulations can support rather than inhibit creative, sustainable living, while simultaneously educating and engaging grassroots communities in changing these regulations.
