Attainable Sustainable by Kris Bordessa - A Book Review

This delightful National Geographic, coffee-table worthy book is chock-full of pictures and explanations, all written in a very readable, conversational style, as if the author is right there with us. She covers the how-to of many different topics, under the broader subjects: Eat, Make, Clean, Grow, Farm, Trek.

I am especially looking forward to trying the Easy Soft Flour Tortillas, Growing Sprouts, Starting Your Own Seedlings, and Transplanting Your Seedlings.

I was fascinated to see that she supplied instructions for making your own tuna can stove (like we did when I was a child in Girl Scouts). And there are even tips for building a fire. Already know how to build a fire and to thrive outdoors? How about raising chickens, rabbits, or goats? Or keeping bees? A myriad of different ways to live sustainably can be found in this book with advice for both novices and those who are more experienced.

My library carries the book. If yours does, too, it might be a good way to get a first look at the book, before you buy it as a Kindle edition or, even better, as a beautiful hardback coffee-table book.
