In a small town in Canada,
There is such a mysterious island.
This mysterious island is called freedom cove,
Not only are the mountains and rivers beautiful, but the beautiful scenery is picturesque,
Even houses, greenhouses, art galleries, etc,
It is known as the "free bay" outside the noisy city.
And what's even more surprising is that,
There is a couple living in the "freedom bay",
You must envy others!
The couple are Wayne and Catherine,
From Canada,
Because I'm tired of chasing each other in urban life,
So they ignored the strong opposition of their relatives and friends,
Quit a stable and high paying job,
Resolutely came to the island to live the life he wanted.
"We want our way of life,
Can live in peace with the environment. "
When the Waynes first arrived,
The island is not as well-equipped as it is now,
On the contrary, it is remote and barren with nothing,
These two people like the quiet island.
In order to have a place to live,
They managed to get 12 abandoned yachts,
And then they're fixed with steel cables,
This became the "land" for them to transform the island,
It's also their new home.
And the buildings on the island,
The Waynes chose wooden structures,
Then they build their own houses and grow plants,
Try to build islands in a way that doesn't interfere with nature,
Even the colors of houses are mainly red and green,
Just to match the natural scenery around.
They also use solar energy to generate electricity,
The roofs and walls of these houses on the island,
They are all materials with solar heating function,
As long as there is sunshine, they can solve the electricity problem by themselves,
This reduces the adverse impact of household electricity on the surrounding environment.
And more than that!
In addition to the house full of flowers and plants,
They also use recycled building materials,
Art Gallery, dance floor, guest room and studio have been built,
And five greenhouses for growing vegetables!
They grow vegetables and fruits in it,
Natural organic health and safety,
Sometimes the fruits and vegetables are abundant and I can't eat them all,
They took it to the town fair and sold it.
And the money that comes back,
They didn't buy bags and TVs,
Instead, I bought carving supplies.
I can't tell,
Wayne, he's not only emotional, he's powerful,
He is also a talented sculptor!
Under his skillful hands,
Ordinary objects such as wood and ivory instantly become artworks,
These works are on display in the art gallery on the island,
Even the shops in the city are scrambling to sell.
And Catherine focuses on painting, writing
She can dance, sing and garden!
Under the careful care of Catherine, freedom Cove has changed from a desert island into a
A well-known water garden.
I just wanted to build my own home,
What the Waynes didn't expect was,
They ended up letting the whole island of freedom cove
Earth shaking changes have taken place.
Now freedom Cove Island,
It has become a little famous local scenic spot,
If you see a sightseeing boat around the island,
The couple would greet the tourists warmly.
From June to September every year,
The Waynes will also allow tour groups to sign up for sightseeing,
Let everyone see the "environmental protection home" in person,
Experience the fun of "self sufficiency" and "creating environment".
"Our home is actually a constantly changing environmental protection project. We hope to let more people know about our water home, and protect it with us, protect our natural environment."
In order to realize the environmental protection dream of this "water home",
It took the Waynes 25 years,
They even raised two children on the island.
But the building of freedom Cove Island
And the stability of the family,
They didn't stop the Waynes from transforming it,
In the next 25 years or so,
They will continue to work for this one
Floating islands inject more new environmental ideas.
People live all their lives,
What everyone wants to pursue is different,
And for the Waynes,
Environmental protection is something they have to stick to for a lifetime.
A kind of
