I had a diet, for 2/3 of the year, of plants that I harvested in the wild. I did so because I felt I owed it to the world around me. In 2005, I designed built a solid-wall yurt in rural Manitoba (-45C winters, +35C summers) where my wife and I lived, then began building portable solid-wall yurts for others. These homes use little of our environment, are low-cost, and yet quite intimate.
Your mother had the right idea years ago, and you have found your own path to eco-responsibility. Congratulations.
