Sustainable Living Workshop

Course Overview

How can you reduce your carbon footprint in the reality of your own life? Using the solar- and wind-powered homestead at Round River Farm as a classroom, this workshop will provide a jumping off point to making environmentally sustainable decisions for yourself. We’ll look at the big picture as well as examine the specifics of transportation, water use, wastewater re-use, growing and cooking food, producing your own electricity and hot water, and choosing building designs and materials. Both rural and urban scenarios will be addressed in this workshop. Demonstrations, presentations, discussions and even some games will be interspersed with work on an individual plan of action that participants will take home with them. Prepare to be challenged and inspired as David and Lise Abazs invite you to their homestead. Note: This course takes place on the Round River Farm (48 miles southwest of Grand Marais - in Finland, MN).
