A More Sustainable Adventure

Sustainable City Living on 1/10th of an Acre | Degrowth in the Suburbs

By letter2self on November 18, 2022



What does sustainable living in the city look like? By living more simply, creating permaculture gardens, utilizing energy technologies such as biogas and solar power, and taking part in community initiatives like car sharing, this household creates money and time savings that enable them to work fewer hours and develop a thriving and sustainable home.
