hasshoes,

This is "near and dear to my heart". My favorite nephew is stationed at Camp Falcon on his third tour of duty in Iraq.

After seeing the Haiti EarthTainer project success:

The beauty of the EarthTainer-type design is its water conservation principles. In water-poor Iraq, this advantage is obvious. As in Haiti however, these containers need to be shaded from the intense sun, as the UV properties of off-the-shelf Rubbermaid household products would not last long exposed.

I would be happy to donate EarthTainer components and construction email help if you know of a "community" at one of the Camps there, let me know.
