เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2018
The Sustainable Backyard Network is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to encouraging resilient lifestyle choices in a time of increasing environmental and economic challenge. Our goal is to provide the knowledge and connections to facilitate widespread adoption of sustainable living practices like organic gardening, homesteading, renewable energy, and resource conservation. The Sustainable Backyard Tour has been an annual event, ongoing since 2011, throughout the St. Louis, Missouri bi-state region. Now with a TH-cam channel, we hope to inspire you to grow, prepare and share good food and greater understanding.
