Small is Possible: Life in a Local Economy
In September we will be reading Lyle Estill's book "Small
is Possible: Life in a Local Economy".
This is the story of how one small southern US
town found actual solutions to actual problems. Unwilling to rely
on the government and wary of large corporations, these residents
discovered it is possible for a community to feed itself, fuel
itself, heal itself, and govern itself.
This book is filled with newspaper columns, blog entries, letters, and essays that have appeared on the margins of small-town economies. Tough subjects are handled with humor and finesse. Compelling stories of successful small businesses, from the grocery co-op to the biodiesel co-op, describe a town and its people on a genuine quest for sustainability.
Everyone interested in sustainability, local economy, small business, and whole foods will be inspired by the success stories in this book.
You can read reviews of the book at
Amazon, or on
Lyle Estill's blog.
Grab a copy today and join us in our discussions in September!
