Thank you to those that signed up to follow my blog this past week.
I have been thinking about the direction I want this blog to go. Eventually I want articles and discussions to be reader driven, and appeal not only to the homeowner but also to those that rent or are in apartments.
Obviously an article on water harvesting is not going to be of interest for someone in an apartment. Although I do recommend that you keep at least 10 gallons of water per person in the apartment for emergency purposes ( buy 4, 2.5 gallon plastic containers of water and place in back of closet or cabinet).
However someone living in an apartment with a balcony might enjoy the ease, taste and safety that a solar oven offers. My wife and I lived in an apartment in Chicago with a great balcony. That balcony was our living room, family room and kitchen for most of spring and summer.
Unless asked a specific question I am not going to write about home theater or audio and video systems and distribution.
I will continue to offer articles and products for smart homes. Low voltage lighting control, whole house control, electronic sensing, energy savings, etc.
I am going to talk more about sustainable living products. projects, concepts and technical design. Passive solar heating, cooling, wind, Geo-thermal, solar panels, batteries, etc.
A sustainable lifestyle is not to be confused with survivalist lifestyle or philosophy, but sustainable living will help you to survive when times are hard.
Being green will not help you to have a sustainable lifestyle, but a sustainable lifestyle will help you live more green (buying an electric car is great but if you are unable to drive out of a disaster zone or city, then you better be prepared from a sustainable point of view).
So for now I am going to be talking about the Sustainable Lifestyle, what it means and how to incorporate it into your life, no matter where live and sleep.
Please offer any comments, questions or ideas that may be of interest to you.
