Self-Sufficiency for the 21st Century

About

This book shows how to live a more sustainable life that everyone can access, whether living in the city, the suburbs, or the country. Sharing their experiences, tips, and techniques, father-and-son team Dick and James Strawbridge show how to make the practical changes that will have a big impact on your life without having to transform your lifestyle. Covering eco projects, plant-by-plant and animal-by-animal identification, how to produce little or no waste and to remove our dependence upon fossil fuels, and so much more, Self Sufficiency for the 21st Century includes something for everyone -- from urban apartment dwellers to suburbanites to those living in the countryside. Structured around three sections -- The Home, The Plot, and Traditional Knowledge -- wide-ranging projects are presented with step-by-step photography, clear guidance, and a great sense of fun. - Publisher.
