Having grown up with a family that lived through the depression of the 30’s and world war two I came away with lots of money and environment saving skills.
Even though I am many years away from my childhood home life I continue to use alot of the ideas passed on by my parents.
We grow a huge garden each year using the French Intensive method. The yields are incredable.
We recycle everything. A sustainable compost heap can be easily made from old lumber found for free at construction sites and sometimes even at home centers.
We have over the years collected seeds from wild flowers and plants which has replaced the grass in our parts of our yard. In the other parts we have begun herb beds and vegetable beds. These beds are empty only during rotation time and provide a great deal of herbs and vegetables.
As much as is possible, we have been bicycling or sharing rides to and from work.
