Content: Not only is the impact on environment favourable, but simple living leads to a higher quality of life. According to this lifestyle, the quality of material possessions need not be cheap. In fact, higher quality items last longer and are favoured as a means of reducing carbon footprints. Visit our voluntary simplicity section to read more about this inspiring way to live. Permaculture – By working with nature rather than against it, permaculturists incorporate sustainable human settlements and agricultural systems into one whole ecosystem. They do this through natural, organic farming techniques such as agroforestry (integrating the benefits of the forest with livestock and crops) and design techniques such as renewable energy technologies and green building. Visit our permaculture section for more. Community – Forming an intentional community with others wanting to live sustainably is a wise way to go green. If working with the right people, a community can do much more to benefit the environment than any individual can. Visit our community building section for more.
