Attainable Sustainable offers a solid foundation for practicing the necessary skills and crafts or just the ability to dabble among dozens of how-to topics. The book's presentation and photographs are gorgeous, thanks to publisher National Geographic, but Attainable Sustainable is far more than a pretty facade.

With the world deep in the midst of a pandemic, learning about self-sustainability makes perfect sense. Not only is now a great time to learn about the numerous and various ways in which one can garden, pickle foods, create natural cleaning supplies, and craft; but it's also becoming more and more obvious how imperative it is to become even more self-reliant. Grocery stores are filled with bare shelves and people are stockpiling toilet paper. It is most definitely a trying and terrifying time in the world...With the help of Bordessa's book, \n\u003ci\u003eAttainable Sustainable\u003c\/i\u003e, I feel like I can dive into projects that will help keep me feeling productive, engaged, and self-reliant.\" -A Bookish Way of Life \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiographical Note\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKRIS BORDESSA'S passion project is the hit blog Attainable Sustainable, which she launched in 2011 to create a community focused on self-reliant living. The site asks the question: What if we could tackle one little actionable step each day to achieve a more self-reliant lifestyle? Bordessa grew up on a small farm in Northern California where her family harvested apples, raised chickens, planted acres of tomatoes, butchered pigs and hosted a Christmas tree farm. These days, she lives in Hawai'i with her husband, two sons, an abundant vegetable garden, and a thriving chicken flock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePacked with delicious recipes, natural remedies, gardening know-how, homesteading advice, and more, this indispensable lifestyle reference makes earth-friendly, off-the-grid living approachable and fulfilling.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether you live in a city, suburb, or the country, this essential guide for the backyard homesteader will help you achieve a homespun life, from starting your own garden and pickling the food you grow to pressing wildflowers, baking sourdough loaves, quilting, raising chickens, and creating your own natural cleaning supplies. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn these richly illustrated pages, sustainability-guru Kris Bordessa offers DIY lovers an indispensable home reference for sustainability in the 21st century, with tried-and-true advice, 50 enticing recipes, and step-by-step directions for creating easy, cost-efficient projects that will bring out your inner pioneer. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled with 340 beautiful photographs, this relatable, comprehensive book contains time honored-wisdom and modern know-how for getting back to basics in a beautiful, accessible package.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bordessa, Kris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Geographic Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2020-03-24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e House \u0026amp; Home \/ Sustainable Living|Crafts \u0026amp; Hobbies \/ General|Gardening \/ Reference|Family \u0026amp; Relationships \/ General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Sustainability|Sustainable living|Self-reliant living\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.55 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426220548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9781426220548\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Geographic Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67740853109017,"sku":"SP-9781426220548","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9781426220548_spiral.png?v=1791615142","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/attainable-sustainable-the-lost-art-of-self-reliant-living","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
