Oh, definitely. We are doing it on a universal scale right now.
If you meant smaller than that, then what are you restrictions?
You can burn your furniture to stay warm, and congratulate yourself on how well you're doing. But it doesn't take long to run out of furniture.
The fact that "long" here means less than a century or so doesn't alter that point. It just turns it into a generational problem rather than an immediate personal one.
in fact more and more people are being affected by climate damage, food shortages, and pollution with lasting effects. But apparently most of suburbia won't notice until it starts happening there too.
The thing I started doing all of this for was renewable compost, though, so at least that goal is met. I also don't give away my yard trash anymore (leaves, clippings). They go into the compost piles and get spread across the yard a few months later. My question moreso centered around fertilizer - why do we keep needing synthetic fertilizer if we can produce renewable compost chains?
The only reason costs are so high is because money can be printed at will so your savings will always be reduced.
Sadly most people don't learn anything about finance and think stocks and bonds are good investment vehicles and fractional reserve is great.
I guess if you go to a school that was designed to make you a factory worker then you will only learn how to be a worker and not the owner.
You'd need to scale the chicken operation to cover whatever your three month compost needs are and you'd need people to eat or use the eggs relatively quickly. You could produce, dry, and store the corn on site.
What am I missing?
