Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage and humanure on The Daily Show

A day or two later after A Kid Off The Grid aired on Nickelodeon, The Daily Show took notice. We were excerpted in a segment with Lewis Black making some funny commentary about our use of the humanure system (”pooping in buckets”). They didn’t use our name, so most people will probably never know just [...]

A Kid Off The Grid: Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage on Nick News TV

Life with Thomas at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage

The latest episode of Dancing Rabbit TV is finally up and ready. I’m very curious to see what kind of feedback I get for this one. It’s called “Life with Thomas” and focuses on Thomas, a five year member here at Dancing Rabbit. He has some unique living habits and a quirky sense of humor. [...]
