A record of The Sustainable Living Project in Hickory North Carolina.
What have you done today to lower your impact?
We are washing away the foundations of our existence on every front. It is high time we move from crashing about on the planet like a bull in china shop and find a way to go forward with intent. We must find systems of living based on sustainability. The systems and tools exist, it is up to each of us to adopt them.
I'm really enjoying video content online these days. Perhaps it's the predominance of mainstream US media here in Bermuda, with it's plane crashes, corporate welfare, fascist ramblings on Fox news, corporate drug pushers, and general sensationalism and addiction to celebrity and consumerism. I prefer content like this, just normal people getting on with the business of preparing their community for the future by increasing their resilience through the planting of fruit trees.
Thanks to Rob Hopkins over at Transition Culture for this wonderful video.

I am married, have no kids, a dog walker, a student of the science and technology of sustainability. I've completed an MSC in advanced environmental studies and energy. I've lived off grid on a small sailboat in Bermuda. I've been a teacher, a theatre technician, a carpenter, a drifter. My wife and I have the intent of once again going off grid, pursuing a permaculture based lifestyle and developing a community education program about the process. This blog is the record of that process and disparate items of interest as well.
