My older brother John and I are very different, even though I spent a lot of time with him in my early teenage years. I have a lot of respect for him. John spent most of his formative years (14-20) by himself cycling or in the wilderness contemplating and planning the future that he lives today and you have to admire that. He was planning a self sufficient, sustainable, low carbon footprint life in the 1970’s when 99.9% of people wouldn’t have had a clue what that was about. If you are interested in sustainable living you will enjoy these links.

 See the images of his life and listen to his story on this interview on the ABC.
