Self-sufficiency for the 21st century : the complete guide to sustainable living today

Strawbridge, Dick, (author.). Strawbridge, James, (author.).

Summary:

"Find your route to a more sustainable lifestyle with Dick Strawbridge and his son James. We can all take steps to reduce our carbon footprint. For some, that might mean moving and living off the grid. For the rest of us, the reality might involve smaller, but no less important, lifestyle changes: cutting back on plastic or food waste, foraging wild produce, growing a few vegetables, making your own plant-based milks, or keeping a chicken or two. Dick and James Strawbridge know what it's like to make these changes. Between them, they've lived on a smallholding, in a terraced house, and even a chateau. In this updated edition of Practical Self-Sufficiency, they share everything they've learned and give you the tools you need for a more rewarding and environmentally conscious life."--provided by publisher.
