That is our goal, for people to see that you can be from a big city and still take responsibility for the enviromental impact you have. She and I do not have and will never have kids. So we decided the best thing for us to leave behind when we are gone, is leaving nothing behind. Just the idea that it is so vital to try to self sustain as much as possible, or there will not be too great of a future. Helena,

We were discussing light this weekend. We do have plans in the future for solar and wind power. We don't know how well the solar will work out in the winter here in MI, hopefully the wind will help. We did purchase a 5000 watt generator Thurs before heading up to the property to start building(post on all of this later tonight) for a pretty great price, and it did wonders for helping us construct the base of our cabin. So we will always have that as an absolute backup. Thanks for reading! Caroline,

So you are going to generate your own heat and light or live without? I just recently heard of someone who lived off nothing more than his car battery but obviously not without what the rest of us would think to be a great deal of sacrifice. I'll be waiting to hear more ... Good luck! Hi – how fabulous. So you are going to generate your own heat and light or live without?
