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.
Rest in Peace my good friend, the Organic Guru, Richard Clare.

When I decided to do my masters thesis on urban agriculture in the city
of Sheffield UK, the most obvious source of information, according to
everyone I asked, was Richard Clare. Over the succeeding months Richard
spent many hours teaching me about the history of urban ag in the city
as well as planting within me, a non gardener, the seeds of a food
growing lifestyle. Every time I visited Sheffield I called Richard up and he
always made time to hang out with me but on his terms, while visiting
and working on the variety of urban ag projects he was involved with. My
favorite and most valuable lesson? He taught me how to properly plant
fruit trees.
Well, no more, my dear friend Richard has died.

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.
