I have three wonderful grandchildren, Aidan, age 9…Gannon, age 7…and Quinn, age 4. They live eighty miles from our home, in Alabama.

Sustainable living encompasses a lot of complex issues. But is it so complex to actually improve your own individual way of living?
No. If it were, I’d be too lazy to do it.
I would venture to say that most of North America has some kind of sustainable infrastructure in place these days. Urbanites needn’t fear their lack of available dirt—in fact, you may want to have your soil tested for chemical residues and heavy metals before you try growing anything in it. You just don’t know.
