There is only one thing that drives all of our energy use and resulting pollution... consumer products and services. To be able to stop buying products and services, there is only one way to do it and that is a self-sustainable home. The problem is there are nobody making such a home and nobody who really knows how to do it. I hope to change that by making a university of sorts to train people to be home builders. Of course I have to achieve that status first myself but I may be able to bring together others with the same goals. It has been estimated that 70% of all energy use is connected somehow to getting food on your table and much of that is vehicle fuel so a big part of the house design needs to include greenhouse and food preparation aspects. The question is, how many people want to become contractors and build or modify houses to make them energy self-sufficient? Are you willing to spend the money for training and the money to get contractor insurance and certification and business name and license? It is the only real way to save the world and you can make good money at it (I have been told).
