Sustainability at Twin Oaks: The
Wave of the Present | |
| Responsible use of our water supply is important
to us. We have installed low flow toilets throughout the community,
as well as several specially-designed toilet tank appliances
which divert the fresh water flowing in to a hand-washing station
on the back of the toilet before filling the flush closet. We also have a composting toilet, designed according to permaculture principles. |

We choose to heat most of our buildings with wood heat. Firewood is from two sources: scrap wood produced from our sawmill business, and trees harvested from our own 450 acres, including trees with storm damage, dead trees, and culled select trees as part of a healthy forest management program. |
