Ecosystems are communities of plants, animals and microorganisms that have evolved over billions of years so as to maximize their long term survival and sustainability. So a sustainable human community must be designed in such a manner that its ways of life, businesses, economy, physical structures and social institutions do not interfere with nature’s inherent ability to sustain life.

The Baldwin-Wallace College Earthtub has accepted 5,000 pounds of wood chips, leaves and kitchen (food) scraps in its first five months, from November '08 to March '09 (not optimal months to start an Earthtub in Northeast Ohio). They added about 25 pounds of shredded paper which they were told added heat to the digestion process.
This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.
