Greywater the new system!By : Carlos Montarelo, Elisa Vaquerizo

and Salvador Pelayo Cueto

Introdution

"re you tired of paying so much for

water? Use greywater! Scientists say that

this method saves water and takes care

from our ground. Is the best! Use

greywater! What are you waiting for?

#ater $rom laundry,

toilet and shower

Greywater is the water from laundry,

toilet and shower. his dirty water is

recycled. It has a process first we take

this water and it has a pre"treatment,

then this water goes to a soil"bo#

planter, for e#ample, also it can be used

to evacuate toilets or to clean certain

areas.

Greywater the most

e$$iient and

sustaina%le

Greywater is sustainable and efficient

for a few reasons with the dirty water

from shower, kitchen and laundry we

irrigate the plants. $reywater is

sustainable and efficient for some

reasons this system takes care from our

garden%s ground.



Greywater im&rovin'

ities

#e can help cities as greywater

recycling. We recycle greywater and it%s

a way to save. $reywater is an energy

that makes us help cities recycle.

$reywater is a way that avoid crisis in

Spain.

Greywater &ros and

ons

he most important pros from

greywater are that we don&t use more

fresh water that we need, we are

recycling dirty water and also we are

saving thousands of liters of fresh water.

he plants has less deformation and also

they have an effective purification, so

they recuperates nutrients and we have

better plants. We use less chemical

energy but it can not be used anywhere,

greywater has bacteria also It is

dangerous to health and sometimes

pollutes the environment.



Adobe, the future material!

By: Celia Sanz, Rodrigo Román and Andreas Rodríguez.

Adobe?

Are you angry to leave your city and

find contamination? It is time to

prevent it, with materials such as

Adobe you will have a clean,

uncontaminated town and you can

spend less money to make your

homes. Adobe is a natural material

made of straw and clay used to make

bricks and build houses. Adobe is the

material of the future, is experienced

by professional scientists and, I

promise you, it works. I recommend

reading the printed article, in it you will

learn many new things.

You will not regret!

How does Adobe

work?

Adobe is one of the oldest materials

used in building. Its made of water,

sand, chopped straws or other fibers

added to get strength and to dry in the

desired shape. Also you use Adobe to

build houses or make bricks. And in

the made it forms in uniform blocks

that can be stacked like bricks to make

walls or to make a structure.

How are tey

e!!i"ient and

sustainable?

Adobe houses are efficient because

its made of a lot of natural materials

that improve all.

Adobe is a good material to build, but

its very fragile.

esides, you can make more things

with adobe, like vases and other

containers of water.



#ros and Cons?

"he pros of buildy with adobe are for

example, the price because is so low,haves little investment in materials and

you can get then so easy. Also the

cons are that it isn#t suitable for

building vertically or for very humid

areas or fre$uent earth$uakes and by

the thickness of its walls, it re$uires

having some space, so it is notsuitable for housing construction in

areas of high density.

How does Adobe

Adobe improves cities because it

doesn#t pollute and contaminate.

%oreover it&s more natural and its

materials help Adobe to improve cities

for example gray water is usable for

washing. esides Adobe is made of

recyclable material and also recycle

water.

Con"lusion:

In my opinion the adobe is a good

material if you use in the correct

conditions because the adobe the

adobe is a material that you can make

beautiful .

It is a very good material to our live

and future because if you use it youimprove cities and pay less money

when we make our houses.

hey reduce the air

contamination. hey do not emit

greenhouse gases. he green

roofs absorb rain water and this

helps to save lake water. Although

green roofs have a lot of benefits,

they also have some cons. hey

add much weight to the roof, are

too epensive to maintain and

some buildings are not suitable

for building green roofs.

Straw bale buildings save

saving energy, their practices safe,

healthy, sustainable construction and

energy saving. The straw bale buildings is

efficient and sustainable, because save

enough energy, compared to a one house

in the city.

$ow are they e''icient

and sustainable

saves a lot of energy, so save energy,

because they have natural products. The

straw bale buildings last for a long time to

construction , in some case last for years

to construction, because the straw bale

buildings use natural product, and the

straw bale is very difficult to construction,

and we started from scratch saving

energy. Straw has been used as a building

material for centuries. Straw bales were

first used for building over a century ago.

The material of the straw bale buildings

are made of cellulose.

Composting Toilets: Bad or

Good? By Oscar Moreno, Daniel Marín & By Marta

decomposition and evaporation to recycle

human waste. Waste entering the toilets is over

90% water, which is evaporated and carriedback to the atmosphere through the vent

system. he small amount of remaining solid

material is converted into useful fertili!ing soil

by natural decomposition."

What is the primary o!ecti"e o#

composting toilets?

“he primary ob#ective of the composting toilet

system: is to contain, immobili!e or destroy

organisms that cause human disease

$pathogens, thereby reducing the risk ofhuman infection to acceptable levels without

contaminating the immediate or distant

environment and harming its inhabitants.
