Our Responsibility
Years ago I founded an environmental organization. We covered everything from teaching people how to start compost piles to getting $685,000 from the government in a line item appropriation to purchase 1635 acres for the Forest Service. This mountain land was in the process of being bought by a developer who envisioned subdividing the land and gracing it with cheap houses for profit.
It is no secret I live a fairly self sustainable life. At times I get a jolt of reality telling me “it ain’t easy”. Especially as I get older and standing on my feet canning all day ends in more pain than pleasure. However, when I think about strictly buying from stores, never having a garden, never hanging my clothes on the line while the dew kisses my feet….well the mere thought is depressing.
So hence this page. I figure why not share thoughts, ideas and news articles on things related to conserving resources, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and living a little off the grid.
