Very useful information. I myself have just started a blog called Urban Subsistence Living and I am proposing an Introductory Challenge. I would be honored if you would visit the new blod and contribute ideas to a sustainable subsistence strategy for a sample one-bedroom urban apartment. http://urbansubsistenceliving.blogspot.com/
