This place is the middle of the
mountain of the height above sea level of about 656 feet
and about 1422 yard from the prefectural highway. There
is our land about 2.8 acres in the total. Overflow of a
water purification plant is flowing near this place. Also
the beautiful river is flowing in a near place from here.
We made the hydro
power plant by using those water. The design
of our house is comparatively simple like the ground plan
of under. DAIZEN planned it. We prepared the soil with
selves and constructing it with the carpenter. We are
almost using a material in this island (local cedar etc.)
with such a reason that "We do not want to use the
useless energy by the transport of a long-distance",
"We do not want to use the lumber of the tropical
rain forest and tundra that the destruction of nature is
going on with the felling of a tree" |
We made even the bio-gas plant. This is the equipment that ferments human waste, raw dust, livestock excreta, etc. and generate bio-gas (methane = CH4). We cook and make a bath and generate electricity by using the gas. We scatter the material that fermented on a farm as good liquid manure. And we can raise a crop. It is possible to do the life that we made the most of the circulation of nature with this one plant, because the disposition of the human waste, raw dust, livestock excreta, etc. and the utilization of the gas and the utilization of the liquid manure is possible. Only the bacteria that dislike oxygen get active in the fermentation tank, parasite and germ perish, because it is unoxygen condition. At present there is the bio-gas plant that is operating it, 1,260,000 units in Indea and 4,750,000 units in China. Already common knowledge as, a lot of raw dust occur in Japan. However, the one that is utilized as the resources is very trifling. Also even the devastation of the land by modern age agriculture is going ahead. We hope that spread a bio-gas plant also in Japan by all means and be solving these problems.
