Sustainability

Sustainability is not a label. It is a set of daily choices — measurable, imperfect, and continually improved.

Food systems

• Food forest approach when appropriate: diversity over monoculture.
• Soil care, composting, and long-term fertility.
• Seasonal reality: gaps happen, planning matters.

Water stewardship

• Protect water sources and prevent contamination.
• Capture and store responsibly; treat water as a precious system.

Waste & materials

• Reduce first, then reuse, then recycle.
• Repair culture: tools, structures, devices, and habits.
• No “out of sight, out of mind” disposal.

Energy sobriety

• Design life around lower demand.
• Use efficient systems where they truly reduce long-term burden.

Continuous improvement

• We document what works and what fails.
• We learn from the terrain, the climate, and the community.
