Return to the way that compost has been made for centuries—in shallow pits. With this method, the compost never needs to be turned, never smells, and is ready in half the time.

Apollo Publishers The Outdoor Citizen: Get Out, Give Back, Get
Book SynopsisFrom the president and CEO of the Appalachian Mountain Club comes an astounding comprehensive plan to save our planet, make the outdoors the epicenter of our communities, and commit to an active outdoor lifestyle.In The Outdoor Citizen, John Judge coins the term “Outdoor Citizen” as he delivers an urgent call to action and a remarkably persuasive argument for why we must all become citizens of the natural world, reconnecting with life's most essential foundation, nature, and defending it, embracing it, and advocating for it.Judge, an international leader in conservation stewardship, covers such topics as how to turn our cities into Outdoor Cities, with a wide range of green spaces, outdoor recreation activities, eco-friendly transportation, and sustainable food sources; how to globally transition to green energy sources; what environmental policies must be implemented and how to enact them; and how to fund a sustainable economy.At a time when we are facing an unprecedented climate crisis, the continued use of carbon emissions will lead to devastating, irreversible effects on the earth. This unique and riveting volume, brimming with expert advice and case studies, is unparalleled—a game-changer for saving our planet and an entry point into a world of healthier and happier people.Trade Review“In this compelling and necessary book, John Judge offers a bold new model for environmental policy and action beginning with the truth that a personal connection with the outdoors is the first step toward preserving it. The Outdoor Citizen is a visionary blueprint for how individuals, communities, and, indeed, our entire civilization must act to become outdoor-centric in an epoch defined by both climate change and miraculous technological promise.” —Joseph E. Aoun, President of Northeastern University"With the extraordinary experience as president of America's oldest conservation and outdoors organization, John Judge maps out a new framework for global outdoor citizenship, a vision for conservation coupled with an appreciation for an active outdoor lifestyle. As a company founded to help people explore wild places and an early leader in how to be a socially and environmentally responsible business, Patagonia believes there is a sense of urgency—today more than ever—for all of us to be champions for the outdoors and our home planet." —Rose Marcario, President and CEO of Patagonia “The Outdoor Citizen sets forth a framework for all of us to participate in the fun of the outdoors, while embracing a responsibility to conservation stewardship. As the chief executive of America's oldest conservation organization, the Appalachian Mountain Club, John understands firsthand the power of nature to transform our lives through deeper outdoor recreational and conservation experiences.”—Steve Smith, CEO of L.L. Bean"Since 2013, Outdoor Afro has been working alongside the Appalachian Mountain Club with a shared mission to train the next generation of outdoor leaders and Outdoor Citizens. John Judge's efforts have prioritized making the outdoors accessible to all, which has included expanding leadership training and outdoor skills learning; building hundreds of miles of trails in underserved areas; and establishing outdoor centers and nature-based programs in urban areas." —Rue Mapp, Founder and CEO of Outdoor Afro“John Judge is uniquely qualified to outline a vision for the next generation of Outdoor Citizens. The legendary activists of the 60s and 70s made incredible progress in turning the tide of profit vs. conservation, but those victories are ancient history now and we are waiting for the next generation of heroes to emerge. The Outdoor Citizen makes a strong case for how that can happen.” —Dan Nordstrom, Owner and CEO of Outdoor Research“This compelling call to action . . . is a well-researched, exceptionally detailed blueprint for saving the planet. If even a tenth of what he recommends comes to fruition, the world would be a better place.”—Appalachia JournalTable of ContentsEmbarking on an Outdoor Journey The Outdoor City Fitness and Food Changing Our Energy Model The Next Ecology and Digital Ecosystems Outdoor Policy and the Outdoor Economy Funding the Outdoor City The Outdoor Global Economy Afterword: Stepping Up, Stepping Out Notes AMC Photo Archives Acknowledgments

Oro Editions Haute Couture Architecture: The Art of Living
Book SynopsisHaute Couture Architecture: The Art of Living Without Walls by Anneke van Waesberghe is so much more than a book about tented green building architecture. The book is part design manifesto, part personal diary, and part manual for future sustainable living. One in which rampant consumerism has been replaced by a more thoughtful design from the excesses of modern times to a new state of being for living sustainably and in harmony with the rhythms of the planet. It is the tale of one woman’s odyssey living alone in the jungle finding true meaning in life and manifesting its beauty into a way of sustainable living that may set a blueprint for our future existence on Earth. The author leads readers to encounter a new paradigm by showing the luxury of simplicity and the beauty of small things. With our consumer way of living and doing things and how the world is evolving, the pace we follow as consumers rather than humans has become outdated and is not the way to go forward. We cannot solve new problems that follow our destructive actions; we have to shift our thinking from ‘me’ to ‘we’. Haute Couture architecture respects artisans, hand-made goods, self-sufficiency, and caring for nature. Being close to nature is a lifestyle of forward-thinking outside the box and is a natural means to discovering ourselves. Ultimately Haute Couture Architecture: The Art of Living Without Walls bridges the gap between nature and architecture.

Book Synopsis`Creative Solutions to a World in Crisis’ is a manual for change, a wakeup call for us to take back control over our lives before they become irreversibly controlled. The book examines where we lost our way: historically, socially, environmentally, agriculturally, economically, technologically, and in law, education and spirit. It demonstrates how to now resolve the key dilemmas brought about via `wrong doing’ in each of these spheres –and beyond. The book focuses on pragmatic human scale resolutions to conflicting socio-economic problems, proposing realisable `local’ solutions as an antidote to rapidly developing global crises. Through the channelling of reawakened human energies into a process of root and branch societal reform, the author foresees a `new renaissance’ of hope, creative endeavour that can reshape our perilous planetary existence and lead to a deeper and more subtle relationship between man and nature as well as between fellow human beings. Quite simply: it is an uncompromising call for us to rise to meet the challenge of our time.

What do we hope to accomplish with our lives? Where are we headed? What is genuinely important? We live in an exciting, fast-paced world that can provide us with many good things. On some level, however, we find ourselves feeling stuck in a rat race that lacks ultimate meaning.

Information Age Publishing Fallow Lands of Plenty: Public Schools as Leaders
Book SynopsisCan public schools feed themselves? That deceptively simple question is like a fingernail picking at a fray in the fabric of 21st century public education. Fallow Lands of Plenty chronicles one high school's attempt to feed itself and, in doing so, unravels the fabric of neoliberal education, exposes its logics of dependence and control, and begins to weave a new tapestry of education for community cooperation and resilience.Set during the ongoing transition between post-industrial globalization and the community structures that are to come, this rich narrative moves from furrows of Appalachian red clay soil, to the mountaintop homesteads of elder seed savers, to the conveyor belts of sterilized food sorting machines, and, finally, to a school's cafeteria on the day that 250 portions of student-grown sweet potatoes were served.Along the way, Fallow Lands centers knowledges of place as well as the literal and metaphorical seeds of relocalized food and education systems. Critical and theoretically informed, the text disobeys the values, purpose and canon of public education and proposes a fledgling pedagogy to address the challenges of the coming age.Trade ReviewEric Klein's Fallow Lands of Plenty is a stirring manifesto for transforming public schools into centers of learning about community resilience and for transitioning to a "pedagogy of relocalization" that prepares students for the unstructuring of the hegemonic corporate food regime set in motion by climate collapse. What sets Fallow Lands of Plenty apart is the ethic of relational care that informs Klein's deeply personal style of writing. Incisive, radical, and accessible, the writing uplifts students, teachers, elders, cafeteria women, and extension agents as co-producers of new modes of public schooling in rural Appalachia that foster collective ownership of learning and intergenerational transfers of knowledge cast out by official state curricula."" — Anatoli Ignatov, Appalachian State University""A must read for today and tomorrow's generations. Fallow Lands of Plenty reminds us that our ancestors did things a certain way, for certain reasons, and the survival of this knowledge may very well mean our own."" — Heath Robertson, Cherokee Central Schools
