Roberts, together with Susan Brandum, pooled eight years' experience working with conixunity- base&eco-businesses to write a 350-page encyclopedia of cutting-edge companies and systems at the heart of the sunrise economy. Cet A Lufe presents 101 ways to tread lightly on Mother Earth and offers ways to make baga of money, simplify your life, have a blast, keep fit and save your sanity while everything is crumbling ail around you. In fact, the authors will give you your money back if, after reading the book, you don't find at least one job, project or saving that's right for you or your neighbounhood. The following, gleaned out of this marvelous book, is just one short paragraph to give you a sens. of what the book might say about other topics. "A classic children's story, Heidi, telles of a girl who couldn't be cured by expensive drugsr, doctors and bcd reut, but cured herseif on the cheap with whole foods, clear mountain air and sun. Though the mzedical majority hasn't banned the book from libraries, it treats the message as a fairy tale and continues on its search for synthetic drug cures." Gel A Lufe! doubles as a primer on new careers and lifestyles, and a bold strategy for renewing North America's economy, communities and the environment. It also combines lifestyle - economics with an attitude - and exhaustive research, making the book useful for everyone. The book is available at some book stores or order by contacting Get A Life Publishers at 427-5828. CHRISTMAS GREEN TII>: Send a holiday greeting on a postcard.
