What is a Tiny Sustainable Life? Should I care? Does it require me to have long hair, a beard, wash rarely or not all, smell of patchouli oil and listen to a lot of Grateful Dead? *
Of course not! Anyone can live a sustainable life, or at least live in a more sustainable way then they are now. I have short hair, a corporate job and live in Kansas with my wife, Miss Mercy. We (I’m pretty sure based on our recent discussions that it’s “we”) are looking for a way back to an idolized simpler time. I say idolized because we don’t really want to live in the 1800’s with the bugs and dirt and general hard living that entailed. We do want to be more self-sufficient, grow more of our own food, reuse, recycle and repair and generally be less wasteful. This is our on-going story of what our journey towards those goals look like. Let me assure you, if we can get there, I promise you can too. So join us on our journey to get through this thing called life..
*Please note: I mean no offense to hippies, who probably don’t have internet, or Dead Heads, who are some of the best people I know…
