Every thing we bring into Coonridge is consumed, recycled, put back into the soil or hauled out. We heat with wood and use outhouses or composting toilets. We have some solar panels that provide power for our radio phone, and a few lights and radios for the house and workers accommodations. We like to recycle as much as possible. Aluminum cans should be smashed as small as possible and placed in the 55 gallon drum on the porch of the main house.
All burnable paper is put in or by one of our wood stoves.
All food scraps are fed to our chickens. Meat scraps and bones are set aside to be rationed out to the dogs equally. Electricity Our electricity is from generators or solar panels. The generator is used to run power tools and not for everyday needs. Our solar panels make small amounts of electricity on sunny days.
