About this title

Synopsis

If you want to help conserve natural resources, leave a better planet for future generations and give your family a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle, it’s time to take steps towards A Greener Life. In this new book, Clarissa and Johnny have produced a comprehensive beginner’s guide to becoming more self-sufficient in your everyday life – no matter where you live.

Here is everything you need to know to play your part in the green revolution, from growing food to keeping chickens; from natural remedies to alternative energies. Every subject is explored with techniques, practical advice and colour photography so that you can take sustainable living as far as you want to, from small changes in everyday habits… to keeping a household cow! Clarissa and Johnny are passionate countryside campaigners and their experience and wit make this a fascinating, as well as practical, guide to the good life.
