I have a car but don’t drive much anymore. Maybe half an hour once a week. Usually less.
I eat meat, but not a lot. My tummy doesn’t like it that much. And I don’t like being bloated or constipated. So mostly chicken, some pork. Goat is good. I like farmed seafood. Beef isn’t my jam.
I’m raising my own chickens and quail, largely so they can eat my waste food (I live alone, and plan poorly, so I have more waste food than I’d like, but if I ever plan well and grow all my own food there will still be waste, and this helps that aspect) I plan to raise goats and all the birds (quail, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys), and maybe a few pigs every few years?
I buy as little as possible. Buy it for life if I can, or just do without if I can.
My footprint is as small as I can get it without a huge life change. A change I intend to make when I can afford to; homesteading for myself and my partner and supplying my community and supporting a family… is my goal… I hope to someday support a family of 2 adults and their kids (not my family, I’m not doing that, but an additional one with one member I can hire, with no relation to me, who want to inherit a fully developed homestead as part of a land trust)
I want to cut my own footprint further. I just don’t know how at this juncture.
Entirely true. I wonder what it would take to create a bog…
I mean people have been filling them for ages right? It’d just be restoration… but probably nowhere near where I am so probably still expensive ;)
I know of a swamp that’s kinda sorta nearby, but like people constantly joke about dumping bodies there so it wouldn’t be a good spot.
