In Step 1 of Rejuvenation, we discussed how most people work their entire lives striving for the basic freedoms of a place of their own, with plenty of good food, water, and air; only to live paycheck to paycheck, barely scraping by; with the looming fact that if they don’t get their financial heads far enough above water, they’ll spend the REST OF THEIR LIVES working to live!  We also examined: If we didn’t create this system, and it doesn’t represent who we want to be; do we have an alternative?

We do, and it’s possible, practical, and achievable.  It’s based on four basic systems of life: shelter, food, water, and electricity.  In this section, we’ll discuss the first two: shelter and food.

     Shelter:            Sustainable Living Systems’ C.O.R.E. Technology offers self heating and cooling homes.  When you build a home that completely heats and cools itself, homeowner utilities are reduced by up to 66%; freeing up desperately needed cash flow. 

The self-heating and cooling C.O.R.E. Home offers the safety and comfort of a regulated environment without energy costs; with the remaining 33% used for lights and appliances, either offset with renewable technologies (in the initial purchase of the home, or as a future upgrade), or by remaining on the electric grid.

SLS’s C.O.R.E. Homes are both self-heating and cooling, and structurally superior; providing safe sanctuaries from tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes; due to the buildings’ unique load baring and cross bracing design.

     Food:                 When you have the capacity to build self-heating and cooling homes, it lends itself to a myriad of future applications; one application being self-heating and cooling greenhouses.  The highest cost of greenhouse produce is regulating the temperature.

A self-heating and cooling greenhouse both eliminates the high cost of shipping food tens of thousands of miles between the grower, manufacture, and consumer; and offers local, organic, food production at a fraction of the cost, with minimum maintenance, in the harshest of climates.  By installing automatic watering and fertilizing systems, it’s as easy as planting seeds and harvesting food.

Rejuvenation begins with the basics.  Implement the basics in a sustainable manner, and rejuvenation follows suet.  Would you like to stop the downward spiral of spending the rest of your life, working to live?  Are you ready to really live?
