This cave home was abandoned but is now
in use again as a dormitory for visitors to the permaculture
project
Bustan Qaraaqa. The room contains a clever solution for
building waste which invariably
finds its way into the desert polluting the environment. The
dormitory beds are made with a year's worth of building rubbish
then covered in cob as a base for the mattress. Permaculture is
based on
12 principles; No.6 says, 'Produce no Waste'.
The MA'AN
Development Center worked with Bustan Qaraaqa to produce two
tree guides as a response to climate change in the northern Jordan
Valley. If you are in the region they may be useful. They are
frost tolerant tree species and
frost intolerant tree species. |
