Book Description[ 内容简介]
Advance praise for Farewell, My Subaru
“Fine is Bryson Funny.”——Santa Cruz Sentinel
&[ldquo;Fine is an amiable and self-deprecating storyteller in the mold of Douglas Adams. If you]'re a fan ofHitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy[-style humor -- and also looking to find out how to raise your own livestock to feed your ice-cream fetish -- ]Farewell may prove a vital tool.”——The Washington Post
&[ldquo;Fine is an eco-hero for our time..]”——Miami Herald
&[ldquo;An afterward offers solid advice and sources for learning more.]”——On Earth Magazine, Natural Resources Defense Fund
&[ldquo;This is Green Acres for the smart set]&[mdash;: a witty and educational look at sustainable living. Buy it, read it, compost it.]”
&[ndash;A. J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically]
“The details of Doug Fine&[rsquo;s experiment in green living are great fun]—&[mdash;but more important is the spirit, the dawning understanding that living in connection to something more tangible than a computer mouse is what we were built for. It]’ll make you want to move!”
&[ndash;Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future]
[Like many Americans, Doug Fine enjoys his creature comforts, but he also knows full well they keep him addicted to oil. So he wonders: Is it possible to keep his Netflix and his car, his Wi-Fi and his subwoofers, and still]reduce his carbon footprint?
[In an attempt to find out, Fine up and moves to a remote ranch in New Mexico, where he brazenly vows to grow his own food, use sunlight to power his world, and drive on restaurant grease. Never mind that he]&[rsquo;s never raised so much as a chicken or a bean. Or that he has no mechanical or electrical skills. ]
[Whether installing Japanese solar panels, defending the goats he found on Craigslist against coyotes, or co-opting waste oil from the local Chinese restaurant to try and fill the new ]“veggie oil&[rdquo; tank in his ROAT (short for Ridiculously Oversized American Truck), Fine]&[rsquo;s extraordinary undertaking makes one thing clear: It ain]&[rsquo;t easy being green. In fact, his journey uncovers a slew of surprising facts about alternative energy, organic and locally grown food, and climate change. ]
[Both a hilarious romp and an inspiring call to action, Farewell, My Subaru makes a profound statement about trading today]&[rsquo;s instant gratifications for a deeper, more enduring kind of satisfaction.]
From the Hardcover edition.
