[AEN] Congratulations to local authors and celebrities - Skotty and Stacey of the Rhizome - on the arrival of their new book!

[Dick Pierce]

Ladies and Gentlemen, please go immediately to
http://radicalsustainability.org/rust/toolbox, preview the *Toolbox for
Sustainable City Living* by Skotty Kellogg and Stacey Pettigrew*, founders
of Austin's own Rhizome Collective.* Then be the first on your block to have
one - order it from Skotty/Stacey on the web-site - use the Permaculture
concept of recycling resource (money) within the local economy instead of
big box or big-web booksellers. While you are learning from the book, the
Rhizome will be re-spending your money locally,....and on and on it will
go.

The promo says that it is a DIY guide for creating locally-based,
ecologically sustainable communities in today's cities.....explains how
urbanites can have local access and control over life's essential resources:
food production, water security, waste management, autonomous energy, and
bio-remediation of toxic soils....for people with limited financial means,
the book emphasizes building these systems with cheap, salvaged and recycled
materials when possible....an essential tool for transitioning into a
sustainable future threatened by the converging trends of global warming and
declining energy supplies.

Thanks for listening - enjoy the book. It's for real, for Austin/Central TX,
and priced right.

Dick
