Hi.  I was wondering if the message below may be posted on the
Sustainable Maritimes Listserve.  I am trying to find some information
about alternatives.  I was also wondering if people would be able
to email me directly if they did not want to post a reply on the
listserve (I don't really know how this works).  Anyway, if for whatever
reason this pre-statement is not clear please let me know.  
Thanks

I am writing this message to try and find some information regarding
sewage sludge on agricultural lands.  Essentially the case is such that
sewage sludge is being spread on agricultural land.  Some members of the
community strongly appose this and are mounting efforts to challenge this
practice.  So this brings me to ask if anyone knows of some alternatives
to this practice.  We are also wondering if there is anyone out there who
knows something about the "Living Machine" - it is apparently a plant
system that is used in sewage treatment. I have been told that there
may be a community in Nova Scotia (maybe Bear River) that is using this or
another alternative way to deal with sewage sluge (especially with the
heavy metals in the sewage).  Anyway, if there is anyone out there that
can help direct me to some information it would be really appreciated.

Thanks, 
Billie-Jean Flynn (flyn1997@mach1.wlu.ca)
