I've been behind on the website management bit and just saw your comment - sorry for the late reply. I'm sure John would love to have some fresh honey on site. If you're still interested get in touch with him. we're working on making a big push to get this thing off the ground this summer. Yes!

It would also have to have food of course, so growing some would be good.

I slept in a mud hut on a cozy bed and staid plenty warm. If you think you can go here and lounge about without working you are sadly mis informed. You have heard it takes a village to raise a child. Well it takes many hands to see that ever mouth is fed, there ara santitary faciltices to cook and crap. This project requires team work to make it flow. Check your ego when the pavemen ends. There is a lt of hard work todo here but the pay off is independence. TRY it you might like it. Recently spent a couple of days at the trust. it was late feb. early march.

I would add Compassion - seems we are wanting Connection, with ourselves, each other, and the planet we are inhabiting. Another big piece (Peace) is Commune-i-cation - learning how to listen and hear, share, become transparent, and finally to Love.

Looking for a group a little closer to me where I could volunteer my time. If you have anyone here in Florida contact you, I would appreciate if you would put them in contact with me. Who know, maybe one day I'll have some time and money to come for a visit and volunteer some time with you. I am friends with John on facebook, look me up.

A big part of sustainable is recycling all of your wastes, because they aren't really wastes after all. In fact, this might actually be the biggest aspect of sustainability. Self-sufficiency is both good and bad. Being 'too' self-sufficient leads towards stagnation. If you choose to build on higher level technologies, perhaps those which rely on electricity, you must keep in mind every little tiny thing you are using that you cannot make yourself - like plain old insulated copper wire. Being truly sustainable would mean being able to make EVERYTHING you depend on whoops, there goes your iPod. If also means recycling everything you make in a way that leads back to the beginning. It is possible to create a balance of increased self-sufficiency and sustainability while at the same time being interdependent with the rest of the world in a better way than is currently common. It is important to not confuse ‘sustainable’ with ‘self-sufficient’.
