Wednesday, July 3rd book discussion:
Farewell, my Subaru: an epic adventure in local living by Doug Fine
Getting green isn't easy. At least, that's what much-traveled Long Island native Doug Fine discovered when he decided to totally embrace a more eco-friendly life. This backpacking suburbanite wasn't exactly prepared for the hard task of getting down to the nuts and bolts of living closer to the earth. In his attempt to achieve solar-powered net surfing and carbon-neutral excursions, Fine encountered numerous unexpected factoids. Did you, for instance, know that it takes 16,000 gallons of jet fuel to fly an organic banana from Honduras to Silver City, New Mexico? Or that almost all components of a solar-powered water pump have to be shipped from Japan or Denmark? Disarming; hilarious; ultimately inspiring
