<!--StyleSheet Link-->Climate change and peak oil (limits to the available supply of oil) and overuse of other natural resources are facing us all with an unprecedented crisis.  Rosie and I believe in taking personal responsibility for the way we live and effect the world around us.
Our website  follows the progress of our applying energy and water saving ideas to our house here in Clacton-on-sea in Essex UK and to interact with other with the same objectives.
Our mission statement:

• We want to be as self reliant as possible without being fanatical about it.
• We try to structure our garden on Permaculture principles
• We aim to recycle rainwater and grey water through a reed bed.
• We plan to use solar energy and waste wood wood to heat our water and home and to cook with and solar electricity to lower our use of mains power.
• We want to consume less and recycle more
• We want to grow and eat our own vegetables, fruit, eggs and honey
• We hope to create all of this ourselves (DIY) where possible from recycled materials.
