What we hope to find out.

  • Can we survive under our own auspices?

  • Will we thrive? or make a marginal existance?

  • Can this experiment be successful on a suburban block?

  • How much will we reduce our co2 emissions by?

  • How much water do we stand to save, and to fail to pollute.

  • How much money will we save? Is our experiment a financial proposition?

  • Will we continue to have a social life and be a part of our community? Or are we 'divorcing' ourselves from it?

  • Will we be able to provide ourselves adequate nutrition, as well as for the nine chooks and goat?

  • We will be milk product, egg eating vegetarians - Can Trev survive without meat?

  • How will our cholesterol and blood pressure levels be affected, our health, our waist measurements?

  • What are the long term ramifications of the experiment?

  • How did it affect our family relationships?



  • Could other people live this way? Would other people want to live this way?

  • If everyone lived like this what would the effect be on our environment?

  • How would it effect our social structure and identity?

  • What would happen to the country or world on an economic level?

  • Was it hard? Was it too hard? Was it worth it?
