The urban homesteading movement is spreading rapidly across the
nation. "Urban Homesteading" is the perfect "back-to-the-land"
guide for urbanites who want to reduce their impact on the
environment. Full of practical information, as well as inspiring
stories from people already living the urban homesteading life,
this colorful guide is an approachable guide to learning to live
more ecologically in the city. The book embraces the core concepts
of localization (providing our basic needs close to where we live),
self-reliance (re-learning that food comes from the ground, not the
grocery store; learning to do things ourselves), and sustainability
(giving back at least as much as we take). Readers will find
concise how-to information that they can immediately set into
practice, from making solar cookers to growing tomatoes in a barrel
to raising chickens in small spaces to maintaining mental serenity
in the fast-paced city environment. Full of beautiful full-color
photographs and illustrations, and plenty of step-by-step
instructions, this is a must-have handbook for city folk with a
passion for the simple life.
