Ellen Page Goes Green at Holistic Village

Juno star Ellen Page recently took a break from Hollywood to study permaculture design in an eco-village near Eugene, Oregon.

The green activist spent a month living on the settlement and learned how to live more simply - and how valuable urine can be.

She explains, "It's about living in a holistic way with the earth and reintegrating our lifestyles with the natural cycles... It was amazing.

"Anyone at all who has a passion for it can learn about it and use in their lives in so many different ways... like peeing in a bucket and using it on your compost. Pee is an excellent source of nitrogen."
