Ride along and meet courageous and inspiring individuals such as: Solar guru Ed Eaton Radical urban permaculturalists Scott Kellogg and Stacy Pettigrew Artist, eco-architect and intuitive builder Matt Bua.Equally entertaining and informative, the profiles in this highly original book provide a unique lens through which to view deeper questions about the societal structures that are preventing us from attaining a more sustainable world.
