Support SOIL by Gifting EcoSan Calendars and Greeting Cards
The 2012 SOIL calendar follows the EcoSan cycle, featuring gorgeous photos of the elements of EcoSan - people, toilets, compost and agriculture. As in the past, we kindly ask our friends and supporters purchase a pack of ten calendars at a discounted rate of $150 for ten, and then resell or give them to friends and family. This greatly reduces our shipping costs, thereby increasing the funds raised via calendar sales. The calendars are $20 each when purchased individually and we believe they are well worth the cost. We also have beautiful 8-packs of greeting cards with ...
SOIL's 2012 calendar available soon!

The calendars were printed by Greenerprinter in Berkeley, ...
