Tulkarm

Solar CITIES, Envisaj Mercy and Palestinian Polytechnic students worked together on January 13 and 14 to  build our "refugee camp" IBC based biodigester in a greenhouse at Hakoritna Farm.  The previous day we had built an identical system, with passive solar heating windows, across the street from Hakoritna farm owner Fayez Odey Taneeb's house in the city.  We also felt it imperative to build a system at the farm where previously Imad Atrash from the Palestinian Wildlife Society and Global Campus leader Aida Shibli had constructed the Solar CITIES variant of the ARTI India fl

Across from the home of Ecovillage leader and organic farmer Fayez Odey Taneeb in the city of Tulkarm, Mercy College Envisaj students built a kitchen waste demonstration digester that the Taneeb family uses and monitors as part of our citizen science project with students from Palestines Polytechnic University.
