Imagine having such self-reliance that you don't have to go to the grocery store every week. Sustainable, green living is achievable, whether you live in an urban, suburban, or rural location. It will not only save the planet, but it can save your health (and money, too!).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn my book\u003cstrong\u003e The Modern Homestead, \u003c\/strong\u003eI will show you how to achieve true sustainability at home through self-reliant, eco-friendly, green living strategies. You can grow food for your family and live off grid (or semi-off-grid) with your modern backyard homestead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have lived my whole life with keeping sustainability in mind. I have been gardening, canning, re-using, and recycling before those habits were popular. Now that I am an adult with a family and responsibilities, I have found ways to incorporate these techniques into our lives, teaching my children to be mindful of the Earth. This not only makes the world a better place, it's also better for our health and budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy backyard is a self-sustained ecosystem of its own, the permaculture very much alive and thriving, helping me and my family live the truly self-reliant life. You don't need to go permanently off grid to enjoy living off the land-all it takes is a little bit of patience, a chockfull of know-how, and a huge heaping of love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile living in a city, you can still live a modern, self-sustainable, green lifestyle. There are little things that you can do that will help you save resources, including time and money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo matter what part of the self-reliant spectrum you fall on, there are tips, tricks, and techniques you can employ to help you reach your goals. From fully off-grid country-style life to urban balcony gardening, you can help yourself and the environment (and be better prepared to deal with any crisis that your family may face because you rely on yourself and not the food supply chain!).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile you might be interested in starting a sustainable life, you might think it's impossible to leave all the comforts of technology and society behind. The good news is that sustainable living doesn't have to be that way. You can have a self-reliant and sustainable lifestyle by providing for yourself while still maintaining your jobs and staying close to your family and friends. Yes, you can still continue living in your own neighborhood-all that you need to do is to rely on stores and supply chains as little as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy book will show you how to be a modern homesteader and live a self-reliant, sustainable, green, lifestyle that will benefit the Earth as well as care for yourself in the best way\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat sustainable living is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe difference between sustainable living and zero waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to start sustainable living\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy sustainable living is important\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe three pillars of sustainability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe history of homesteading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLessons learned from the great depression that apply today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy you should (or shouldn't) go self-reliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding your homestead from scratch with a step-by-step guide to setting up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA discussion of different homestead animal choices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe costs of homesteading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat permaculture means\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to make a four-season garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to harvest your veggies (and eggs, if you have them)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor permaculture tips, tricks, and techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreservation and storage of your homegrown food\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to sell your excess produce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther ways to live sustainably\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequently asked questions about homesteading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book also makes a great gift!
