Free Book to Download: Ecology Begins at Home
I first got this book sent to me in 1995 by the author himself, who was kindly sending the books out for free and in return asking only for voluntary donations.
Ecology and Voluntary Simplicity go very closely together and much of what Archie Duncanson talks about is what is just beginning to enter the mainstream culture now.
He talks about saving energy, using less, reducing, re-using, recycling, keeping our food miles down by eating food produced locally and closer to home, taking personal responsibility for doing our bit in the world.
He's now published the book online, and although the illustrations are new (I really liked the stick men of the original book!) it's the same book that I know and love. And I recommend it above any single book you could buy on ecology today.
I think it is fantastic that Archie is so selfless in promoting his message without thought for personal gain.
If you enjoy it, please link to this free book and help get more people engaged and interested.
This is the very essence of the ethos of my Small Revolutions Blog, small changes snowball, and the more people we can engage and inspire, the more and faster and better we can transform the world.
Because I really believe we can change the world, and Ecology Begins at Home was one of the first inspirations for that.
I've recently started a sideline blog and I've linked Archie's book as I think it definitely worth reading by many others.
