This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.
Portal of all things Green
Posted 28/08/08 by Matt B in the Green Moral category
I am pleased to announce the completion of The Green Moral Portal - this still experimental portal pulls news and blog posts from a number of sources and agrigates them according to topic. Most topics have sub-topics and some sub-topics have sub-sub-topics.While I did initially create the portal for my own use I have found such things too vital a tool for understanding the subject and what is being said to keep it to myself. I'll be exploring it over the next few months for sites to add to the Green Directory.
I hope others find it as usefull as I do. Feel free to make requests if I have missed out any topics of note.
Planning...

I feel this can only be good news for my dream. It is time I feel to become a trend setter - to dream the undreamable and to think the unthinkable and most of all to do the impossible.Britain has tight rules on building new homes — which help account for Britian’s high house prices and pretty patchworks of green fields on the outskirts of big British cities.
But the UK’s population is swelling, putting pressure on housing space. Prime Minister Gordon Brown says he wants 3 million more homes by 2020, and all new build to be zero carbon from 2016 on.
Surely that plays into the hands of off-gridders seeking a life closer to Nature, where lunchbreaks entail a stroll in the woods rather than a frantic dash for an over-priced sandwich.
I have a plan. It is, as plans go, utterly insane, off the wall and completely without president and if it works it could pave the way for lots of people in the UK to live the dream. I will be asking for your support soon but for now all I ask is that you sign up for my feed (by email or by feed reader) so that you miss nothing.
Green living in the UK is about to get interesting.
Please be nice

Before things get underway here I'd like to state my position on personal attacks and strong opinions. It is vital that as people that engage in freedom of speech that we do not abuse this.Attack the opinion but not the person. When you disagree with what someone has said be sure to say "I do not agree and this is why..." rather than "you are clearly an over ripe fart if you think that". This helps us thrash out the issues without thrashing each other.

About: Green Moral
Posted 01/03/08 by Matt B in the Green Moral category
Green Moral, while being a new project, is the continuation of a passion. It is written by Matt B who has been known to use the rather less serious online nick-name of "Lord Matt" (it's a long joke and by now not especially funny). The blog, as can be guessed from the title aims to cover issues relating to our living world. It is part of the Good Moral, blog network and accepts and offers guest posting opportunities.This is what Matt has to say about the site:
I have something of a dream and a few years ago set out to solve each problem that stood between myself and that dream. I have not solved all of these issues but in the process of examining them I have learned more about a culture I did not know even existed. A culture in Britain (and in the US) with much the same dream.
I was not alone!
My dream is to live in a woodland area in harmony with my surroundings, requiring little or no outside support while still engaging in business activities more often seen in big offices and high tech situations. I am a programmer and data systems analyst. Along the way I have picked up knowledge and skills relating to "new media marketing" which engages with home-brew media (blogging, podcasts, etc) and the market in a personal and open two way conversation.
