About this ebook

A sustainability expert goes beyond renewables, calling on us to combat the climate crisis with a new, low-energy way of life.
Concerns over climate change and energy depletion are increasing exponentially. Mainstream solutions still assume that some miracle will cure our climate ills without requiring us to change our energy-intensive lifestyle.
