Ben Green: Self-Sufficiency at the End of the World, Gebunden

Klappentext

1 year to nutritional self-sufficiency; 5 years to total self-sufficiency; 10 years to complete happiness -- even if the end is nigh!

Climate breakdown is gathering pace and the world is changing faster than the human mind can cope with. How do we grasp this new reality, take practical steps, and move forwards with hope? By learning to garden as if the world is ending.

Six years ago, Ben Green, aka The Pirate Ben, took on a derelict former East German military barracks and turned it into a laboratory for living a radically self-sufficient life.

In Self-Sufficiency at the End of the World , Ben distills everything he has learnt into a practical manual for thriving at the end of the world as we knew it. With humor and humility, Ben demonstrates how anyone can strive for self-sufficiency and start to free themselves from reliance on global systems of production. Above all, he shows how facing up to the reality of climate breakdown need not be a counsel of despair, if we learn to embrace his "Happy Doomer" spirit.

This is essential reading for every future human.
