by Louise Harvey (Author)

Self Sufficient Living - A Beginners Guide To Self Sufficient Living and Homesteading Would you like to know how you can live a more Self Sufficient Life? Sustainable living is often associated with off the grid communities and remote homesteads, but for those of us not fortunate enough to have a few acres of land at our disposable, there are still many options available through which we can lead more a more self-sufficient way of life and reduce our personal impact on the environment. After all, it's not only up to big corporations to make a difference, each person alive today bears some responsibility for the fate of our planet. Environmental concerns aside, all of the topics covered by this book can save you money, improve your quality of life and even become enjoyable hobbies. There is a sense of freedom and self-determination from producing your own food, or energy, and reducing your consumption that many of us do not get the chance to appreciate in our modern ways of life. There is a perception that to take these steps towards a greener way of life requires time, space and money that is not available to the majority of us that live busy, urban lives. However, this is not necessarily the case; many of the measures mentioned in the chapters to come need not be expensive or time consuming. The feeling of independence and satisfaction that these projects provide cannot be measured in financial terms alone. The aim of this book is to help you determine which green technologies would work best for you, and to impart a fair understanding of the work and costs involved for each one Here's a Preview of what's inside
