Sustainability

Living Sustainably

Sustainability, in all its subtle nuances, is of utmost importance to us. Considering the presently deteriorating environmental conditions worldwide, how could it not be. All of our electrical power is provided by the sun through solar power systems. We utilize permaculture types of methods to grow our food, and apply those same principles in our ongoing work with the land. We harvest trees sustainably, fallen and occasionally standing, which we've used in the past to build most of our structures. Using bio-degradable soaps or only washing hands, bodies, dishes, and clothes in water is common practice. Being 100% self-sufficient is certainly our ideal, not necessarily our goal.
