Yes, dear reader, the time has come.  Everything in life has a beginning and an ending, and I believe that it’s time to wrap up The Greening of Gavin blog and podcast.  All good things come to an end (to quote a very famous Star Trek series)! It’s with a homebrew beer in hand that I say goodbye. All Good Things… With no major greening projects on the horizon or further lifestyle enhancements planned, I’ve essentially run out of things to say, which after 1,870 posts and 132 podcast episodes is quite understandable. I’m officially passing the baton to a younger generation of bloggers and influencers who may have better luck convincing the masses further to live a more sustainable lifestyle. I know that I’ve played my part in the rebirth of the simple living revolution judging from the amount of feedback and emails I receive every day, so I feel very proud of that accomplishment.  I, like you, can make a big difference in the world. What have we achieved? During the journey, we’ve retrofitted the house with many green features, renovated the gardens into an organic food farm, and transformed the way we think and live.  All that, as well as starting a green business teaching others some simple living skills. When I reflect back to that crazy day when my whole world was turned upside-down, I would never in a million years have thought that the blog would have come this far and how it would eventually have impacted our lifestyle for the better. And to you, the reader.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting and following my family’s journey and antics since February 2008 when I penned the very first post.  It’s been a wild ride, sometimes controversial, but always interesting and fun. So where to from here? Well, the blog posts and podcast episodes will remain online until either the internet is destroyed or peak oil begins to impact us all.  Just joking, it will still be here as a valuable resource for as long as there are bits and bytes.  Check out my archive for all the posts. Also, I will still have a strong online presence as I will be maintaining the associated Facebook page and YouTube channel for The Greening of Gavin.  If anything exciting happens around here then that is where I will be posting this type of update. Additionally, the YouTube channel, CheeseMan.tv, will continue to release a weekly cheese making video, as well as my cheese making blog and associated podcast at Little Green Cheese. Little Green Cheese Podcast To cap it all off, our home business, Little Green Workshops, is still growing strongly and will more than compensate for any time I gain from ending the blog and the podcast.  We are still running cheese, soap, soy candle, and bath soak &amp; scrub workshops each school term if anyone wants to learn these dying skills.  You can find all the details of these courses on our workshops calendar. Click Through to the Shop! Adieu So dear reader, this is it.  Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support, and I hope to see you on my other blogs and YouTube channels in the very near future. Goodbye, my friends and keep on striving for a more sustainable world.

Sorry for the hiatus, but we’ve been working and launched a big project  over the last 3 months, which we’ll talk about in next week’s episode. Today we are going to be talking about why we think our house is a home and what the difference is between the two.  And answer the question on whether being happy at home has something to do with a reduced need for getting away on holidays each year. There may be some background noise, as we are travelling in our Honda Civic Hybrid car from Ballarat to our home in Melton. We think the conversation is fun all the same. Until next week, have a great week of sustainable living! Chime in with your thoughts about what makes a house a home.  We would love to read your thoughts via comment.

Sorry for the hiatus, but we’ve been working and launched a big project  over the last 3 months, which we’ll talk about in next week’s episode. Today we are going to be talking about why we think our house is a home and what the difference is between the two.  And answer the question on whether being happy at home has something to do with a reduced need for getting away on holidays each year. There may be some background noise, as we are travelling in our Honda Civic Hybrid car from Ballarat to our home in Melton. We think the conversation is fun all the same. Until next week, have a great week of sustainable living! Chime in with your thoughts about what makes a house a home.  We would love to read your thoughts via comment.

It’s been a very busy year now that Kim and I are teaching sustainable living courses most weekends during the year, but not too busy to miss out recording our Christmas Special episode that I know you will enjoy. We would both like to thank you for reading the blog, listening to the podcast, and for those who live in Australia and New Zealand, for visiting our online shop or attending our workshops. We’ve both had a fantastic time, and looking forward to bringing you more of our sustainable living journey in 2016! See you in the new year!

We talk about some of the great homemade presents that friends have given over the years.  It was because they were homemade that we remember them many years later, unlike all the crap that we used to buy and be littered under the Christmas Tree before our sustainable living journey began. Thoughtful, simple, yet memorable gifts, made with love.  Who would want for anything nicer?

We talk about some of the great homemade presents that friends have given over the years.  It was because they were homemade that we remember them many years later, unlike all the crap that we used to buy and be littered under the Christmas Tree before our sustainable living journey began. Thoughtful, simple, yet memorable gifts, made with love.  Who would want for anything nicer? We also mention that the show will be more regular and that we are already planning our Christmas Special.  If anyone has any duet suggestions for our song, then send them in via email, the more the merrier.

We had to remove the greenhouse due to catastrophic failure of the polycarbonate sheeting.  Its being replaced with a storage shed for soap making supplies for Little Green Workshops.  I will make some trellis against the new shed to espalier a couple of dwarf fruit trees, so all is not lost.  We just past 30 megawatt hours of electricity generated by our 2.8kw solar PV system! Solar hot water has been free this month and will be until late March Our garden got scorched from 4 days over 30°C.  In fact we had a day of 37°C which turned all our apple blossom brown.  I think we may lose the entire crop. Next Wednesday we join get the National Broadband Network hooked up to the house and will be able to provide more video content.  Currently on our ADSL2+ connection, it takes me 5 hours to upload a 20 minute YouTube video.  Think of all the extra time I will have to produce more video content instead of waiting for uploads! Oh, and lastly, check out the “My Videos” menu item on the blog.  You will find a gallery of selected sustainable living videos that I’ve uploaded over the years, including my four national television appearances!

We had to remove the greenhouse due to catastrophic failure of the polycarbonate sheeting.  Its being replaced with a storage shed for soap making supplies for Little Green Workshops.  I will make some trellis against the new shed to espalier a couple of dwarf fruit trees, so all is not lost. <a href="http://www.greeningofgavin.com/2015/10/tgog-128-major-events-around-the-yard.html/pa080001-001" rel="attachment wp-att-9505 nofollow" target="_blank"></a> We just past 30 megawatt hours of electricity generated by our 2.8kw solar PV system! Solar hot water has been free this month and will be until late March Our garden got scorched from 4 days over 30°C.  In fact we had a day of 37°C which turned all our apple blossom brown.  I think we may lose the entire crop. Next Wednesday we join get the National Broadband Network hooked up to the house and will be able to provide more video content.  Currently on our ADSL2+ connection, it takes me 5 hours to upload a 20 minute YouTube video.  Think of all the extra time I will have to produce more video content instead of waiting for uploads! Oh, and lastly, check out the “<a href="http://www.greeningofgavin.com/videos" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">My Videos</a>” menu item on the blog.  You will find a gallery of selected sustainable living videos that I’ve uploaded over the years, including my four national television appearances!

And you know what?  I gave her a big hug, a loving kiss, and thanked her from the bottom of my heart.  I love what we do and am glad we are both excited about where this journey is taking us. Gavin and Kim – Little Green Workshops During this episode we talk about why we are passionate about Little Green Workshops with our friend Emma Sutcliffe, and also discuss how we believe we are converting consumers into home producers one simple living kit at a time. You know, it wasn’t until I’d listened to this episode a few times that it clicked. It dawned on me that this is exactly what we have been doing over the last couple of years. We’re changing people’s behaviours from consumers of goods, to that of producers of goods in a more sustainable way with far less waste. That can only be a good thing for the planet, right? Don’t forget that you can subscribe to the show using the buttons above, and if you have the time we would love to hear what you think of the show via an iTunes review and rating.

You know, it wasn’t until I’d listened to this episode a few times that it clicked. It dawned on me that this is exactly what we have been doing over the last couple of years. We’re changing people’s behaviours from consumers of goods, to that of producers of goods in a more sustainable way with far less waste. That can only be a good thing for the planet, right?

Why Not Do Both?  We conducted the interview just before a delicious lunch that Kim prepared, so you will hear her in the background of the recording Emma took.  It was an energetic solar talk! During this episode we focus more on grid-connect solar PV and talk about my system, what I think about the future of residential solar PV is, and how batteries and hybrid systems will change everything due to a rapidly falling price and a very low feed-in tariff. View from our gate At about the 17 minute mark, when I am talking about our visit to the Waubra wind farm, Kim drops her clanger about a few of the people she would like to strap to the blades of a turbine.  A truly laugh-out-loud moment. So if you would like to learn a little more about residential solar photovoltaic systems then this is the episode for you! If you want to check out more of Emma’s work, visit her personal blog, theoffgridsolarhouse.com.  She is also a contributing author to the One Step Off The Grid blog. Emma Sutcliffe Solar Selfie!

It kind of reflects the this weeks guest lifestyle.  Michelle Snape lives a simpler old-fashioned life in the Manning Valley in NSW, which is about 3 hours drive north of Sydney.  On a three acre block with hubby, and two teenage boys, she practices the old, simpler ways of living. She writes about her old-fashioned lifestyle at her blog A Vision Splendid. Michelle Snape – A Vision Splendid It’s also a first for the podcast as it’s a bit of a three-way interview between me, Kim, and Michelle.  It makes for a very interesting chat and we really like the way Michelle thinks.

It kind of reflects the this weeks guest lifestyle.  Michelle Snape lives a simpler old-fashioned life in the Manning Valley in NSW, which is about 3 hours drive north of Sydney.  On a three acre block with hubby, and two teenage boys, she practices the old, simpler ways of living.

Well, it just so happens that Jennifer Richards has developed a method of measurement that she has called the Household Sustainability Index.  During this episode we discuss the index, why she developed it, and her thinking behind each of the questions.  It covers three main categories; Household Economy, Environmental Sustainability, and Well Being.  A good score in all three indicates a fairly balanced household. However, before you jump into the show, you need to do a little bit of homework first.  Click through to the Household Sustainability Index using http://www.greeningofgavin.com/hsi. This will redirect you through to Jennifer’s blog, Beyond The Trolley, where you can read the index questions as we step through them during the chat. I must say the questions really piqued my interest, and I believe it is a well-developed index that could be used for most households with ease.

Want to live a plastic free lifestyle?  Well I have a treat for you! On the show today I’m joined by Lindsay Miles who is the author of the popular blog Treading My Own Path. Lindsay Miles – Shopping for Zero Waste Tortilla Chips After watching the documentary Bag It, she made a fundamental change in her life and chose to live a plastic free lifestyle, which as she describes in the episode was not a simple as it first seems.  Lindsay and her husband persevered and now manage to live a plastic free lifestyle. We also chat about why recycling is the 3rd R and why its not all it’s made out to be, sustainable living, consumerism gone wild, and her love of food gardening. Join us by listening to this very interesting show. P.S. After listening to Lindsay and Erin talk about this documentary, I just ordered my own DVD copy to watch and review.

Want to live a plastic free lifestyle?  Well I have a treat for you! On the show today I’m joined by Lindsay Miles who is the author of the popular blog <a href="http://treadingmyownpath.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Treading My Own Path</a>. <a href="http://www.greeningofgavin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Shopping-for-Zero-Waste-Tortilla-Chips.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a>Lindsay Miles – Shopping for Zero Waste Tortilla Chips After watching the documentary <a href="http://www.bagitmovie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bag It</a>, she made a fundamental change in her life and chose to live a plastic free lifestyle, which as she describes in the episode was not a simple as it first seems.  Lindsay and her husband persevered and now manage to live a plastic free lifestyle. We also chat about why recycling is the 3rd R and why its not all it’s made out to be, sustainable living, consumerism gone wild, and her love of food gardening. Join us by listening to this very interesting show. P.S.

Getting out of debt is not as hard as it may seem.  All it takes is a plan (aka budget) and the determination and mindset to carry it out.  Now getting out of debt won’t happen overnight or in a few months.  It may take a few years or even a decade depending on how deep down the rabbit hole of consumerism you’ve travelled. But from my own personal experience, it is definitely worth pursuing. The freedom at the end of the last payment of each debt is amazing. Caveat: I still have just under two years to pay off a 30 year mortgage, but have no other debt.  The mortgage was taken out in 2000, and I drew down on it many times until it ballooned in size until we woke up and got serious about getting out of debt. We have paid off over $23,000 in credit card debt, as well as a personal loan of $22,000 since October 2006.  We just have the mortgage to go and Kim and I are very proud of what we have achieved so far.  It just took a budget that we referred back to and updated regularly, and determination to pump any spare funds we had into paying down our debt.  It reduces the interest owed due to compounding.  Trust me, it works well. Also, I am not a financial adviser.  Please take my experience and tips as food for thought whilst you travel on your own debt reduction journey.  A journey that does have a happy ending if you work at it!  If you have any other debt reduction tips, please feel free to leave a comment.  The more the merrier! The post TGoG 117 – Getting Out of Debt appeared first on The Greening of Gavin.
