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.
What do you want most?

A fellow geek and Internet business man by the name of Mark over at 45n5.com recently posted about the desire to be self sufficient. To grow his own food and basically find contentment in doing so. It's a desire I can fully understand as it is something that I truly want to do too.The post is called Veggies, Fruits, And Goals and you can read my reply in the comments (it's signed Lord Matt because that's the online name I picked back when I started and I'm kinda stuck with it now).
Mark reminded me about why I started the Green Moral. It was not to make money (I've never exactly pumped this place with adverts or targeted keywords or any of the other stuff marketers do). It was to document my quest to live in a permaculture style environment integrated with the fruits of modern technology and science.
If that sounds "far out" then maybe it is but it is my dream and I don't exactly plan to give it up anytime soon. The idea of a lifestyle that is in harmony with my surroundings to the point that I am part of the ecosystem rather than an enemy of it is something I am now so taken with that I could not stop dreaming about it even if I wanted to. I think it would fair to say that this is something I long for.
It is why I work. It is why I blog and it is why I get up in the mornings.
So a general question to my readers (you few that find me interesting on this topic) - what drives you? What are your passions?
This year I will attempt the impossible - subscribe so that you do not miss it.
