Everyday Permaculture
Sustainable Living for Every Space
ANNA MATILDA, 'The Urban Nanna'
Whether you're a renter, homeowner or apartment dweller, Everyday Permaculture is the guide to sustainable living for everyone. This book gives practical and simple ways for people to incorporate permaculture and other eco-friendly habits into their lifestyle, no matter where they live.
Sustainability educator and author Anna Matilda, aka 'The Urban Nanna', has created a practical guide to empower readers – singles, families, retirees and everyone in between – to start living sustainably. This comprehensive yet highly accessible book focuses on how homeowners, renters and those with limited space can adopt eco-conscious ideals and build changes into their lifestyle.
With chapters on Community, energy, food, foraging, waste and moving, Everyday Permaculture explores how living more sustainably is possible in some very unexpected ways. Did you know it's possible to make your own tea for free using the dashboard of a car? How about turning a routine rental inspection into a delicious batch of pesto? What about trading kindness for help moving house? Sounds almost like a Dr Seuss book doesn't it?!
Anna weaves ideas and practical suggestions into every page of this book, and accompanied by Brenna Quinlan's gorgeous illustrations, QR codes to fun & thought-provoking songs by eco-funk band Formidable Vegetable, and stunning photos that capture Anna's regular subruban rental life, there truly is something for everyone between the covers of Everyday Permaculture.
By equipping readers with the adaptable tools needed to develop the craft of living an authentic, sustainable existence in every space, this book offers solutions to help ease the personal stressors and struggles that affect everyone, while combating climate change and the cost of living, and has some fun along the way.
Buy a copy from any good independant bookstore, or ask to borrow at your local library.
