Link: Living off the energy grid

[Guest guest]

In Pasadena, Calif., Jules Dervaes and his family have already begun

living the change that many suggest is needed to combat global

warming. They use appliances powered by hand-cranks, and the lawn is

trimmed by goats. They utilize solar power, recycle their water, and

grow food on their land.

 

There is an NPR interview of 4-1/2 minutes at this link:

I heard of this family on CNN's show called Open House.

 

Also, on a personal note, I have bought a bicycle and will use it at

least a couple of days a week to get to work. It is liberating to

know I'm not using any gas when I bicycle.
