Farewell My Subaru: An Epic Adventure in Local Living by Doug Fine

Doug Fine (frequently heard on NPR) lives a sustainable life style in a remote New Mexican river valley. He buys 2 goats, plants a garden, makes his own gas from used vegetable oil, installs solar panels and generally lives off the grid. I learned a lot from this book - mostly, I will starve, freeze and die if our infrastructure fails! I feel horribly guilty eating, breathing and using my car. But I sure do admire Doug Fine and how he is living. He should be an inspiration and although I found his book humorous he was also wildly depressing. Is there little hope for my grandchildren? And why do people even want children! Forget the USA because China and India have so many people using up the earth's resources they will make us selfish, hoggish Americans look like Amish!
