Sometimes trying to live sustainably can be a lonely thing - sometimes it’s great to be able to catch up with people to compare notes, ask questions or just simply not to feel alone.
Part of our hope for this blog is that it can become a place for those kind of connections to be made - a place for sharing ideas and connecting with like-minded folks who have faced or wrestling with the same sort of challenges.
Terry, who writes the 2050 Vision: Sustainable Civilisation blog that I follow, recently posted about “backsliding” and mentioned that part of the reason is feeling demotivated if when “going it alone”.
I know I’ve been there before, and it was through reading other people’s blogs and meeting a few folks in “real life” that helped me keep on at it. With that in mind I thought it’d be nice to give Terry a shout-out of support - and (perhaps cheekily) suggest that if there are any Futuremakers up Brisbane way, drop Terry a quick comment to let him know he’s not alone 
Terry, i visited your blog and was surprised at the amount of work you have put towards your goals of living sustainably. Well done! Living in Brisbane myself i have found quite a few people like-minded people.
Northey Street City Farm is a great place for learning and meeting people who are interested in sustainability. The farm is a great place to check out and have some lunch.
Another site to check out is Path to Freedom. This site is about the journey of the Dervaes family as they convert their tiny suburban block to produce most of their food and income. While they are based in Los Angeles the site is very inspirational.
