The purpose of this project is partly contained in its name, Journey to Net Zero, but the purpose generally is to refit a century-old Seattle home to produce all of its energy, and to have edible and pleasant landscaping that is a resource for humans & wildlife. The project has a broad environmental focus that included conservation of energy and water, organic landscaping and urban farming, and productive maintenance of a ‘street end’ (property that was untended green space). Four years into the project, support for zero-emission transportation was added. How we came to set and achieve these goals is the Journey.
