You are welcome to stay with us and participate in these projects!
Ideas for future projects
- build an irrigation system for our garden
- plan and build an indoor compost toilet
- improve the greywater system so that it can be put to work again
- create control system for our usage of solar energy
- build a food drying device
- create flyers and posters for our regular events
- build a whole lot of additional shelves and storage facilities
- ...
If you want to engage with one of these ideas for longer, or if you have a new idea that would fit us well, please send us a message!
After the critical psychology Dresden has founded a new university group almost exactly a year ago, they now come back to Kanthaus!
We are delighted to announce that we got a considerable amount of money from the Postcode Lottery to realize a project that combines pretty much all Kanthaus purposes:
We will design and build modular 48V lithium batteries to save and use solar energy. We will do so using decommissioned batteries from old laptops. That way we can give new life to resources that were already seen as trash, prevent unnecessary mining of raw materials (e.g. lithium and cobalt) that has devastating consequences for people and the environment in the global South and equip ourselves with light, cycle-proof, high-current energy storage devices.
