06.15: Building a Better Nest: Living Lightly at Home and in the World
2015-05-18 22:04:43| Powells Books Events Calendar
For 15 years, Evelyn Hess and her husband lived in a tent and trailer, without electricity or running water, on 20 acres of wild land in the foothills of the Oregon coast range. When they decided to build a house — a real house at last — they knew it would have to respect the lessons of simple living that they learned in their camping life. With unfailing wit and humor, Building a Better Nest (Oregon State University) chronicles their adventures as they begin to construct a house of their own, seeking a model for sustainable living not just in their home, but beyond its walls.
