Father of 2 young children in Wisconsin, USA I share the concern about the future we are leaving for them.  Personal interests include breaking free of the Corporate Salary System, expirimenting with sustainable small agriculture systems, Permaculture and putting the community back in our communities.  I believe that Religion and Sustainability are mututally supportive; that Environmental Issues are Moral Issues.

Much of this is detailed at www.onestraw.wordpress.com

To that end, I stand on several village level committees, helped to found Sustain Jefferson for county wide advocacy, and work to develop food growing systems that are both sustainable and sized
 to fit in the backyard of a suburban home.   I believe passionately that showing others the way, throgh hope, is infiintely better than preaching to them and guilting them into aciton: in Being the Change I wish to see in the world.

At present I am still living in a cookie cutter home and working for a Fortune 500, but as skills and self sufficency increase, I hope to move to a green built home and earn my living through growing food and other needed skills.

The sheer volume of people on this site is incredibly insipiring: truly we live in a time of Blessed Unrest!
