About Us
 |
The environment is important to us both. When we made our home in Mexico, although we had to remove two small trees, we proudly planted 17 more since then. We put the vast majority of our waste to reuse via composting, small animal husbandry, organic gardening, and materials recycling. We also reutilize our greywater for a small citrus orchard, collect rainwater, avoid the use of toxics, and utilize drought-tolerants for landscaping. We are eager to keep greening our home as much as possible, harnessing solar power is among one of our next goals. We hope our pages will inspire you with Earth-friendly practices for your home. |
