Instead of buying everything, consider what you can do without.
Consider what you can MAKE.
Consider what you can buy that is locally made, if you can’t do without it and can’t make it.
There’s your sustainable development...
—Was already beginnning to make more things.
—Trying to get step-dad to allow us to get a generator.
—Trying to get at least a partially underground room addition plus greenhouse built
—Growing heirloom tomatoes for the farmer’s market
etc. etc.
