ECO Bathing: In my many travels and advice from a friend who lived in Indonesia this is a basic and eco way of getting clean. Bathing is confined to using water to soap up and then to rinse off. In this way it saves on the amount of water that needs to be heated (using greenhouse gases) and water used. Both fuel and water have a monetary cost and ecologically carbon footprint. Reduction in both means more money to help with the renovation and restoration and also keeping the house closer to a Carbon Zero goal. Growing the crops and plants is a way of offsetting gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
