Absolutely amazing work, this work needs to be spread around the country for us to start making a turn in our wasting approach.

Am in Dubai but from Bangalore, and am working on green technologies, as in making use of the electronic technologies for the home. But your work is taking technology and green to a whole new level.

I would highly recommend to get a LEED certification, I am sure it is going to be a gold rating. It would be one the first in India. Moreover the visibility in the media will give people like yourself working on the same lines to voice out their ideas to the mases.

Please consider this as a humble salute to a visionary ! :)

hello Zen, my name is Jackie and I'm currently doing a school project for school that deals with creating a rain-catching and water storage system for Ghanians living in Ghana's capital, Accra. My idea was to create a type of cistern and I planned on using Laterite because it is cheap, locally available and there have been studies that show that it can absorb metals floating in the water, as well as arsenic. I noticed that you showed a video of a well made of laterite brick and was wondering if you can provide more information on Laterite. I have some research, but it is kind of hard to find it. How much water can laterite absorb? What kind of maintenaince would it require? Where could I find more information on Laterite?
