Small Is Possible

Life In A Local Economy

BY LYLE ESTILL

Brief Description:
In an era when incomprehensibly complex issues like Peak Oil and Climate Change dominate headlines, practical solutions at a local level can seem inadequate. In response, Lyle Estill's book introduces us to "hometown security," with this chronicle of a community's response to resource depletion in a fickle global economy. True stories, springing from Chatham County, NC, offer a positive counter balance to the bleakness of our age. This is the story of how one small town found actual solutions to actual problems. Unwilling to rely on government and wary of large corporations, residents discovered it's possible for a community to feed itself, fuel itself, heal itself & govern itself.
