JIM AND JENNY'S ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT

Jim and Jenny hold nature dear to their hearts and like to tread lightly upon this earth so they keep their impact low and experiences high.

Jim and Jenny strive to promote the highest environmental consciousness in mind, body and soul. They are dedicated to the preservation of Canada's natural environment, and strive to foster appreciation for its ecological integrity as well as teach environmental sensitivity by example in every way possible. 

Here is an example of the environmentally-friendly commitments Jenny and Jim have made to their everyday lifestyle:

They heat with wood (harvested from their own property) in a highly efficient wood stove

They heat water with an on-demand propane hot water heater

They invested in their own drilled water well

They wear lots of second hand clothing and have furnished their house with a lot of second hand furniture

Their 2-year old son has worn cloth diapers since he was born

They invested in a front loading washing machine

They DON'T have a clothes dryer, microwave oven, hair dryer, or anything electric that has a heating element

They use a human powered push lawn mower

The buy local organic eggs, meat and veggies from a local small business
