Abstract:
CSAs or farmers' markets? Upcycling or freecycling? Carpools or staycations? All of the above? They're all great choices--but how do you decide where your family's time and energy is best spent? In Happy-Go-Local, Linsly Donnelly shares countless ideas from her own experience in living locally to help you raise a happy and sustainable family. From community swaps to cooking co-ops, her approachable, step-by-step style will inspire you to make changes that bring your family, neighborhood, and town together--one compost pile at a time. Featuring interviews and tips from professionals in the sustainable movement, this all-in-one guide takes the guesswork out of living locally--and is one item you won't want to recycle!.
