Get Inspired by the Exploring Alternatives YouTube Channel

Hey everyone, Rob Greenfield here.

I am in southern France right now, and

over the last few years hundreds or even

thousands of you have asked me for videos

and content about two things:

one, families that are living a
sustainable life

and two, people that are living more

sustainably in a cold climate. You have

seen my year of growing and foraging all

of my food in Florida, and I was in a warm

climate, and you also see that I am

an individual and I do not have children

or a spouse. I like to provide examples

of what people can do in every situation

around the United States and
around the world.

However, without a family of my own

and without living in a cold climate,

I am not the example for that.

The good news is that I have an amazing

YouTube channel that I want to share with

you, that I think you should subscribe to

that is a great resource for this.

If you are a family with children,

you can live sustainably. There are

thousands or millions of people that are

examples of this. If you're living in a

cold climate, whether it be across the

northern part of the United States or

across Canada, or many other colder parts

of the world, you can live sustainably.

There are alternatives, and the channel

that I am about to introduce you to is

Exploring Alternatives, and the founders

are going to tell you a little bit
about it.

Definitely subscribe to Exploring
Alternatives

so that you can literally explore the

alternatives and see the many different

ways that we can live sustainably,

live more happily and healthily, and

live in harmony connected with the earth.

Alright, here they are, love you all!

Danielle: Hey everyone, we are Matt and
Danielle from Exploring Alternatives.

Matt: And for over five years we have been

making videos about alternative lifestyles

and spaces like tiny houses, van life,

yurts, zero waste, homesteading,

living on a sailboat, and a lot more.

There is no lifestyle or house that will

be perfect for everyone, but we like

learning about the ups and downs
and the pros and cons

of how single people, couples,

and families live so that we can

share that information and inspiration

with anyone who might be considering
something similar.

Danielle: Since we spend most of our time

exploring in Canada, we naturally meet

people who are living in a cold climate,

and we get to learn about the best heat

sources, how to avoid freezing pipes,

and we are hoping to share more

about homesteading in future videos.

We have featured a family of seven living

off-grid in northern Canada, a mom and her

son creating zero waste, a couple living

debt free, a homesteading family growing

most of their own food, a woman living in

her tiny house in winter, and new parents

sailing in the tropics with their newborn
baby.

So there is a lot of variety on our
channel.

Matt: We even featured a guy who grew all

of his own food, and even his toilet paper

for a full year. If you are looking for

examples of people, including families

who are living alternative lifestyles and

doing it in different climates,

you might just find some interesting
videos on our channel.

We put out a new video each week, and we

will be happy to see you over at

Exploring Alternatives, on YouTube.
