Off the Grid
We at Pearl Cove Library have organised a
special event for you. Our yearly Human
Living Library event is where you can borrow a ‘living book’ and ask all the
questions you want for 20 minutes per speaker. September is the month for Sustainability so the
theme is about all things sustainable.
Find out about how to forage and identify edible local bush
foods, grow a food garden, harvest water, grid connected solar power systems
for your existing home or off-grid solar power systems with back up battery
storage options. For the more adventurous,
find out how to build your own home with rammed-earth or mud-brick materials
found locally and automate household waste management. Also, find out how an eco-home can be built from
as little as $5,000.
Speakers
Patrick
Jones and Meg Ulman, authors of The Art
of Free Travel and practice a sustainable lifestyle in regional Victoria,
will bring their permaculture skills to the event. They also have vast knowledge and experience
in foraging and hunting for food. In
their travels, camping and searching for bush tucker, they were able to
document a wide range of edible plants.

Other speakers will include an indigenous
aunty from our local community who will share her knowledge on foraging and
local bush foods. An off-grid living expert from the Byron Bay hinterland will
share knowledge on how he built his own home using local materials, how he started
a food garden and
makes use of off-grid solar power for energy needs, harvests his own water and
has a household waste management system.
Another speaker from Off-Grid Energy Australia will explain options for
off-grid solar power systems or grid connected solar power systems, and back up
battery storage options.
