Enjoy the year-‐round vegetable & flower garden walls, smarWish ponds, a plant-‐filtered hot tub, and even fish taking care of food plants. In our beauLful ‘home-‐grown’ reef tank we turn dead rock into living rock so enjoy capLve-‐bred seahorses, reef fish, rescued sLng rays and a gregarious rescued Moluccan cockatoo without concern. Understand how keeping pets does not have to hurt our environment. Watch endangered bu\erflies grow and be released in season. In the garage, see landfill bound garbage instead converted into protein rich fish food and a car that never has to stop at a service staLon. Eat solar oven food. Bring toonies and try to hand-‐feed our tropical finches or crayfish. Take with you one of our fun educaLonal kits.

The ELPHA PROJECT is launched with an extreme yet pracLcal home; a model that provides for human sustainable luxury with beauty and simplicity. See:
-‐ a scaled down ELPHA ecosystem that uses trash, sunlight and a li\le water to produce heat, fuel, fish and watermelons -‐ insects transforming toxic trash into raw material for biofuels, food, and soil amendments -‐ why this home can leave a door open for a couple hours in winter with li\le loss of comfort -‐ our new Sustainable Facts label applied to insulaLon materials. Also why the Biohome chose its combinaLon of cellulose, spray foam and HDEPS rigid insulaLon -‐ an a\racLve driveway and path made out of recycled milk jugs that can support more weight than concrete or asphalt
