  • Опубліковано 4 бер 2015
  • This video series was created to help ordinary people find ways to become more sustainable no matter their circumstances. The idea came from the late Jane Perkins, New Zealand based artist, filmmaker and nature lover, and it was later completed by her friends Annie Collins and John McKay in memory of Jane. You can learn more about the project at: www.sustainablepeople.co.nz

    First of all respect for what you are doing! To live off the land in a sustainable way is truly commendable. We also live in a lifestyle block of 2 hectares and trying to reduce our carbon footprints . I have been reading a lot about how to feed the world and unfortunately we are the lucky ones. Not everyone can afford to live in a lifestyle block and in urban centres I think the answer lies in rooftop gardens and vegetables grown in commercial buildings as what they are doing in Singapore and New York even though this may seem as unnatural for us. That is the reality for the majority of people in the future. I also believe the future will be a vegan world as the world cannot afford to produce enough animal based protein to feed China and India and Africa. Again my respect for what you are trying to achieve and I myself yearn for that way of life and am trying to replicate it.

    Are there any self reliant maoris in New Zealand or are the hand-outs more interesting?

      who taught you that ? was it a large corporation which handles waste as a business. the idea is to think (i had a thought ), then research and trial, so many things are just that, someone told me so i believe it. what else are you told to believe, just to increase the profit margins of the corporations under the guise of health and safety.
