Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

Thank you for posting this! The book really opened my eyes about local foods, factory farms, and how to try to tread as lightly on the land as possible while getting the most efficient use out of what is available. I appreciated her ruthless eye and no-nonsense approach, even though some of it made me squirm as I rethought my values (and realized I'd completely missed the boat on others, namely, that vegetarians also need to be very mindful of the huge amounts of land used / habitat destroyed just to avoid eating meat).

She's "wicked smart" and I have always enjoyed her books (Prodigal Summer - fiction - has an excellent explanation woven throughout of the havoc wreaked by pesticides); I wish more had read A, V, M. I had the book at one point but loaned it to a very Republican friend who was starting his own farm ... he had his whole family read it and passed it on to other friends (with my blessing); it's now one area we have in common - smart, truly sustainable, pesticide-free farming.
