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.

To live the dream perchance to hope

Fellow business man and pro blogger Mark from 45n5.com is in the process of buying himself some land to live on. It seems that the USA has less restrictive rules regarding building houses in farm land where as the UK has massively restrictive laws some of which are good and keep the land safe and some are downright stupid.

Congratulations to the 45n5.com chief editor.

So why am I feeling so "green" about this?


Simply because it is what I want to do too. I have been talking to a number of people and have drawn up a business plan to express my ideas. What I am proposing is the creation of an ecovillage in or near Kent (near London) in the UK. Ideally in the district of Thanet.

Almost everyone I tell about the idea gets really excited about it and I can see this project getting a lot of good moral support. I am also hoping to pick up some serious advice and help from builders, plumbers, designers, architects, vets and so forth. Some oft he articles of late (such as "Ecovillage Building", "Soap from Trees", "Planning...", "Ecovillages" and "An ecologically informed approach to education") have been sourced directly from the research and write up I have been doing for the business plan.

It is something I have been dreaming about for a long while and the time seems more than right to start doing something proactive to make the dream a reality.

What is your dream?
