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.
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.
None of this seems to fit together with my more ecological aspirations but that sort of thing has never stopped me before. Perhaps I am a fool or perhaps I know that if we continue to live as we do the planet will shortly be unable to sustain life. I would like my descendants to enjoy this planet until I am utterly forgotten and I intend to be quite memorable.
I started to write about Green issues on my personal blog The Fantastic Site of Lord Matt, Super Geek but it did not sit well with the primary topics which were largely more advanced technical items about using the Internet and websites, software and so forth. In the end my passion was dropped from my blogging.
At the end of 2007 some pro bloggers were challenging themselves to start a blog a month to expand their portfolio. I thought this was a good challenge and it helped motivate me to engage those activities and passions I had been ignoring. I'll probably not launch anywhere near 12 blogs in 2008 but I fully intend to share everything I have learned with the ones I do run.
Here for example I wish to look at woodland maintenance, garden farming, allotments, woodland crafts, scavenging, recycling, greener living and the methods I have imagined to over come the largely legislative obstacles in my path to my greener dream. Join me then on the road - I have no map and know not where it will take me but then the journey is ten times the destination...
This year I will attempt the impossible - subscribe so that you do not miss it.
