Hey, all:
I live off-the-grid with Wind (turbine) and Sun (photovoltaic), solar domestic water heater, rooftop water collection system, dry composting toilet, greywater system. I also have free-range chickens, and I do organic gardening for produce. The wildflowers grow on their own, for the most part, but I am also restoring the Coastal Prairie on the South Texas property where I live, and I seed a variety of wildflowers and native grasses to benefit the area.
I am currently installing a new battery-powered electric motor system into a pickup (early stages), requiring removal of practically all the conventional powertrain, which will provide commuter transportation (~100 mile range), and I will be able to recharge the truck's batteries at home with a plug-in system, meaning I will have virtually all sustainable energy for my home and for transportation.
I am a wildlife biologist, which is my ultimate reason for my actions. If we do not achieve sustainability in all aspects, including human population, the global biological resources I love will disappear--for eternity.
I embrace Mohandas Gandhi's philosophy of "...be the change...", so I try to achieve the change myself.
Good success!
David Messages done with sustainable energy, with Wind and Sun!
