This includes:
1. A water well and filter system.
2. Solar panels for electricity backed up with a diesel generator.
3. A house plan maximizing passive cooling techniques. No artificial air-con.
4. A small vegetable garden utilizing composted material for fertilizer.
5. Waterless (composting) toilets. No septic tank.
6. Making bio-diesel to power the vehicle and generator.

tim8ter,

Just like you, we are also planning to build, practically with the same reasons you offered. We are giving ourselves 4-5 years to map out the big move. Could you please explain #5 of the above list. Thanks for the insight.
