Riassunto

X. Sustainable Food, Energy, and TransportationWhen people talk about “back to the land” communities, it conjures up images of extensive gardens, wood burning stoves, and homegrown entertainment. While homestead living can be more arduous and less adventurous than many novices understand, much is being learned about local resilience in the crucible of community.Food is both sustenance and social lubricant. Managing your own woodlot warms you thrice (cutting, splitting, and burning). Community experiments with solar panels, wind turbines, car co-ops, and inviting the neighbors over for dinner instead of going to town offer three-dimensional models of how to get your energy budget under your control despite upward spiraling gas prices.The 15 articles in this Sustainable Food, Energy, and Transportation bundle offers inspiration and practical advice about what it takes to meet your basic needs close to home.This digital article compilation includes:1.
