Description
SELF-SUFFICIENT HOME : GOING GREEN AND SAVING MONEY, by Christopher Nyerges
This is your how-to guide to all areas of home self-reliance.
Nyerges interviewed about two dozen people for this book, telling their story of how they pursued the path of self-reliance at their own homes, and the costs involved.
These are all nitty-gritty folks with no government or utility loans, who did what they felt compelled to do to be a part of the Solution.
The book begins with the story of how Dude McLean survived the 1971 Sylmar quake. It includes the details of how to plan your own self-reliance, figuring your electrical usage, natural ways to reduce heating and cooling cost, what you should know about water, solar and wind electricity, solar water heating, toilet alternatives, back yard food production, transportation issues (making biofuel, the practicality of bicycles), and interviews with people with unique lifestyles (such as tipi-living).
Says Carel Struycken, actor and permaculture advocate: “I highly recommend this book to people seeking to better themselves and their daily lives. Nyerges’ interest in wild foods, survival skills, and urban self-reliance has always been a practical — as well as a spiritual — quest to live lightly on the land.”
Yes, you can get the book cheaper somewhere else, but we will autograph and inscribe it to your specifications.
