Off On Our Own

Off-Grid but Not Out of Touch Ted and Kathy Carns are living a 21st century success story of zero waste, total recycling and astonishing inventiveness. Their five-acre home in western Pennsylvania is a warm, inviting showcase of self-reliant living. They have all the comforts of modern life, from flat screen TV to morning smoothies from their solar-powered blender. Necessity has become an art form. "Through a series of small steps, learning as we went, Kathy and I have designed a lifestyle that can survive and flourish even if we were totally cut off. This book is about how it happened, why it happened and how anyone can cruise the archetypal avenue we're on, in whatever way works best for them." - from the Introduction
Told with humor and insight, Off On Our Own makes a powerful case for sustainable living and environmental stewardship.
