Quinn Eaker is the founder of the most sustainable organization in the entire state and likely the country. www.intothegardenofeden.com The reason for this is the negative zero carbon footprint that is achieved is unheard of. Just to put it in perspective a tribe in the Amazon who has never had contact with civilization and uses no "technology" is at best zero carbon footprint. Almost every creature on earth is at a zero carbon footprint except for humans who are unmeasurably unsustainable and destroying the environment everywhere they go. The Garden of Eden has achieved this by consuming and using trash resources. So everything used is being saved from the landfill, which is already a negative carbon footprint action but then it is being repurposed as food or as living space or other essentials for human life. Thus even what is consumed is actually the act of NOT consuming but adding to the richness of the environment. The GoE saved 350,000 lbs of trash from the landfill in just one year. The Garden of Eden fed 40,000 free meals just last year and while there are other organization that feed more "Free meals" they do with with MANY times more money and WAY more carbon footprint. www.isnessis.com

http://www.intothegardenofeden.com A key factor in sustainability is to use what is abundantly available and harvestable for free. If you buy something at a store, even if it is used for a "sustainable" project it is far less sustainable that utilizing something that is harvestable for free. There are many things that can be built out of pallets; walls are one of them. This is a fast, strong and sustainable wall that serves its purpose perfectly. This wall can also be upgraded to be a living wall, which then becomes structure AND growing system! Pallets are abundantly available, and the possibilities are vast. Start building with pallets! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Garden of Eden is the most sustainable organization in the state of Texas (and probably the nation).

Building with cob is one of the most truly sustainable processes on earth. It has been successfully done for thousands of years and remains today one of the best ways to build many things including homes. Cob is made of 4 ingredients, of which are abundantly available for free anywhere humans commonly live. 1. Clay 2. Sand 3. Straw 4. Water These ingredients are not only abundantly available from free renewable sources but these elements melt right back to the earth exactly the way they were before building when done. This means that even when destroyed or no longer useful they are still zero impact instead of almost all other building materials of which cost a lot of energy to make and also contribute to the toxic waste in land fills. Quinn is a true master of sustainability and has inspired thousands to live more sustainably. Here he highlights a few tidbits of cob and how to use it. He also has many other videos on cob building.

www.intothegardenofeden.com Rocket stoves are a huge upgrade to almost any cooking/heating method on earth.

The best gardeners love and nurture their gardens, they understand and appreciate the plants. From this relationship the ability to "garden" develops easily, naturally. Relationships with those in our life also work this way. Love and nurture your children, understand and appreciate those in your life and a "friendship" will also be easy and natural. You may like specific and certain foods. This is ok, there is nothing wrong with preference. Yet experiment enough to find what you like and then build your life with that. Find the people that you like the ones you appreciate and understand and then love and nurture them. As with plants you must love and nurture them so they are healthy and productive. This is in your own best interest as well as the plants. The plants and eco system are healthy and you get to eat. So as with plants those relationships in our lives are most sustainable and abundant when loving and nurturing, this is in all of our best interest. Love is sustainable~*~

www.intothegardenofeden.com At the Garden of Eden we are dedicated to living the most awesome life possible while living by our moral and spiritual standards. Health as well as sustainability are very important and for creatures of the earth including just about every human, FOOD is an essential part of this. We have been growing an over abundance of beyond organic and highly sustainable food for many years. What we have found is that wildcrafting/food foresting is not only the most sustainable but also the healthiest. It requires much less time and resources to establish a sustainable eco system than to garden organic. The easiest and most nutritious foods are wild native plants and they are also the easiest and least taxing to grow. Here Quinn Eaker discusses this. ENJOY! www.intothegardenofeden.com

http://www.intothegardenofeden.com Goats are a valuable investment for a sustainable homestead. They consume a variety of weeds and plants, generate fertilizer, require relatively little space, and can produce milk. Educate yourself to care for them properly; they require food, shelter, protection from predators, water, and a milking schedule, plus you'll want to consider how to keep them from eating the plants you don't want them to eat. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Garden of Eden is the most sustainable organization in the state of Texas (and probably the nation).
