#012 Self Sufficiency is Impossible-and Essential

In this episode I am of course going to talk about the importance of self sufficiency and how that is connected to sustainability.  I am also going to discuss how self sufficiency means different things to different people so there are different ways to go about it. But, in the end self sufficiency is also impossible to attain yet vital to our survival.

So, how do we get around that? 

Now fast forward into our present time, when you mention self sufficiency in front of a group of people, I can almost guarantee that 10 different people will have 10 different visions of what that means. That is simply because there are no hard and fast rules, no real guidelines, no universal definition, and when you venture out you are pretty much on your own. And to make it even more complicated, there are so many different things you could do.

My point here is that in our modern society there is a complete disconnect between the concepts of self sufficiency, sustainability, and how that is vital to our survival. In the end, I discuss different options for self sufficiency that can fit anyone's lifestyle. And while true self sufficiency may be impossible to obtain, self reliance is not. Both are a vital part of personal security and the future of our planet. 

Always live sustainable because this is how we build a better future.
