Good for you!!! My family has been doing the self - sustaining thing for a while now. I am a farm girl at heart, always have been. We have an organic garden, try to use all natural cleaning options, raise our own chickens and generally try to rely on grocery stores and commercial things as little as possible. My dreads were the result of ALWAYS wanting to live a more natural life. So I guess in my case the dreads are the result of my lifestyle, not my lifestyle being the result of my dreads!!! I would LOVE to go solar for our energy needs in the summertime (Michigan has NO sun in the winter), but so far we have not found any economical options.

combo of passive and active solars besti guess i could say my dreads and my lifestyle were intertwines 1 didnt cause the other both evolved togrther MiDread said:

interesting, how long ago did you get your dreads.

hmm yeah i am definitely more natural -- no more make up

Like MiDread my decision to dread was just an extension of a lifestyle that I've always strived to live. Growing naturally, inside and out and becoming more in touch with nature and the earth in every way I can.
