RE: Our journey off-grid required solutions from our elders

Unfortunately not. it's a 60 years old summerhouse. There is 1800 meters above sea level, not suitable for stay in winter. A few people in the summer are temporarily stay to graze animals. No electricity, no road in winter. (In the winter there is snow about 2 meters long. I think its an ordinary thing for Canada, but too much for conditions in Turkey).

As a teenager I sometimes find there boring. However somtimes people must stay away from civilization. I read Protestant ethics and the spirit of capitalism and Plato Republic books. Fantastic place to read philosophy :D

Thank you for clarification. I'm sure they would last hundreds of years though. There are ways to modify them so that people could stay in them all winter. However, it looks like there is not many trees there for wood or heat. So it would be challenging but doable!

Unfortunatly yes there is no forest here. Civilization was born in Mesopotamia. For this reason, people started the massacre of nature here. First the Assyrians then the Hittites, then the Persians, then the Greeks, then the Mongols, and now the Turks. We destroy all the forests of Anatolia... The land where agriculture was born will probably be desert after 50 years. The Islamic government does not even care. The forests are becoming agricultural fields, and agricultural fields are becoming construction land.

Anyway I'm off the subject. I like your posts. Thank you mr @wwf

Sounds like it is time to start planting trees. If not for your generation but for the 7th generation for sure! <3 It saddens me as that is where this land is headed if we don't stop the deforestation that is taking place here.

I planted 6 seedlings (Most are now longer than me :) ). I will increase this number.
I go to the fire with a glass of water. Not enough but at least I try
