It's no secret...island living isn't easy. Supplies are hard to come by and expensive. Extra infrastructure is required to serve isolated communities. Systems and solutions are not always in place. Many of us have a desire to live more sustainably and treat our islands well. How do we do this amidst all of these challenges? Simple answer: do your best. Weigh your options and choose the one with the least environmental impact and that is within your reach. Next time, extend your reach just a little more. Learn. Ask. Share. As you gain a better understanding of what is possible, you may find that these choices become easier for you.
