Did you know you can get 500 showers worth of hot water -- from a compost pile?

This one, from Inspiration Farm in Bellingham, WA was built by 3 people in 90 minutes, and that includes gathering material. They ran 100 ft poly pipe to the pile, where the heat was generated by the compost. Cold water was also run to this rustic outdoor shower.

For two months in the summer, there were an average of 6 showers a day- and they never ran out. When the compost pile was done generating heat, they had finished compost to use! And plenty of happy moist mushrooms where the shower was.

Win Win Win, yes that is permaculture!
