My friends Annie and Joe joined me on a visit to NeverEndingFood, Lilongwe and were introduced to the permiculture concept of sustainable living in Malawi. Intrigued and impressed by the composting toilet practice and that it is not a dirty business, Annie has new visions for her village and is committed to helping to change the mind set of her family and friends. Spreading the word is one thing, but putting it into practice might take a bit of time.
