A really great post from Susan Carpenter’s Realist Idealist column from the LA Times. Susan has spent the last year trying to live more sustainably and has experimented on various levels at her home with using: chickens, composting, solar energy, grey water systems, water catchment etc… In this article she relates what has worked and what has failed miserably over the last year. She also attaches cost analysis to each item, a fantastic article for anyone looking to live more sustainably at home.
