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.
Going Green When The Economy Fails
Posted 03/05/08 by Matt B in the Questions category
How do you "stay green" when money is tight?Under economic hardship the ideals of green living meet with the realities of getting food on the table. This can present a choice for the poorer person - eat well or go hungry but stick to your morals. The desire to live morally can be undone by the need to feed your children.
While the hopeful suggest that the economic crunch is drawing to a close I am doubtful. I have a gut feeling things are going to get nasty. With these assumptions let us look at the question of how green living when you may not be able to afford it.
Is it possible to make Green and Moral living cost effective?
How do you make a compromise that is not too morally abhorrent?
Are there other options? If so, what are they?
This year I will attempt the impossible - subscribe so that you do not miss it.
