December 06, 2009 Composting toilet as a holiday gift?
Have you ever imagined that a composting toilet or waste water system could be a holiday gift? Beginning this new year, Keepers is implementing an educational program to supply Tibetan villages with information on water management, wastewater treatment and rainwater harvesting. Please help us this holiday season with a tax-deductible donation.
A donation of $40 would cover the materials needed for a composting toilet for a family and, with your generous support, we can build 25 composting toilets during the course of 2010. We are also seeking $6,000 for a month-long training program in watershed management and appropriate wastewater treatments for ten local people and their villages.
With this donation, you will receive a complimentary Keepers of the Waters 2010 Calendar: Sacred Water Sites of the Tibetan Culture. With a donation of $150 or more you will receive an archival quality 8” x 10” Living Water image signed by Betsy Damon.
