| Ann's home made Rocket Stove, modeled on that designed by Aprovecho eco village (Eugene, Oregon) for third world countries. |
A mongoose trap. |
A scythe is surprisingly ergonomic as well as being eco-friendly. Plus, there's no noise pollution, you save money on gym fees ... I'm sold! Buy off the internet for around $70 total. |
Solar panels are a no-brainer in sun-soaked Hawaii. |
The toilet: hole in the ground, using the nice, soft pages of the Campmore catalog as paper, and junk mail to cover your tracks. It's not a forever solution - Anne is investigating the methane gas conversion techniques used in India. |

| Ann bought this house on 12 acres of land some 8 years ago. You should have gotten in when you had the chance, say all the locals. |
There's the outdoor shower. Solar heated, water catchment, and surprisingly hot! She makes the soap from wild pig fat. |
Another arty shot of Anne's house. |
You've seen these in office plant pots, this is how they look in the wild. |
Anne is anti-fossil fuel device. This means no leaf blowers, farm machinery, cars etc. She uses a scythe to cut the grass - surprisingly fluid and easy to use. |

| Anne is 99.9% self sufficient. She buys no food - this sumptuous spread comes off her land. |
Guitar buffs can't visit Hawaii without learning a little bit of slack key! |
Anne made this hat. She's a "I can do that!: kinda gal. |
Ann is self-sufficient even down to making her own bowls from grasses off her land. |
Eek. An African slug came a long way to pay Ann a visit. |
