S1E68 How To Become More Sustainable This Year
from The Homestead Journey · host Brian Wells
Sustainability is a word that can mean many things. But, many times when people use the term, they use it as a synonym for environmentally friendly. In my opinion, that's a very narrow view of the word.Google defines sustaininabilty as:* the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level. * avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance.Because people have a tendency to look at sustainability primarily from an environmentla perspective, the first part of the definition, "the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level" gets lost. I admittedly approach this from a bit of a prepper point of view. While I don't have bunkers filled with guns, ammo and MRE's, when I think about sustainability on my homestead, I am thinking about worst case scenarios: What if the proverbial poop hits the fan. Do I have systems in place where I could maintain our life at a meaningful level? On this episode, I talk about that as well as sustainability from an environmental perspective. We talk about some ways that you can build sustainability into your homestead journey.Enjoy!!Brian Brianhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/shophttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.nethttps://www.facebook.com/TheHomesteadJourneyPodcasthttp://www.youtube.com/c/3BFarmandHomesteadhttps://www.facebook.com/3BFarmNY/https://www.instagram.com/thehomesteadjourneypodcast/?hl=enhttps://teespring.com/stores/[email protected] the showhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/bloghttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/newsletterhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/supporthttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.nethttps://www.facebook.com/TheHomesteadJourneyPodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheHomesteadJourneyhttps://www.facebook.com/3BFarmNY/https://www.instagram.com/thehomesteadjourneypodcast/?hl=enhttps://teespring.com/stores/[email protected]
