  • The Closed Loop http://theclosedloop.org/

    In an ideal, sustainable world, every house is essentially a “closed loop”. I use the phrase “closed loop” meaning that the input = the output. In a closed ecological system, any waste produced is consumed by another species. The Closed Loop is a blog where I share my experiments and thoughts as a designer on how to live a Closed Loop lifestyle.
