商品簡介
Minato is a poet, writer and teacher based in the Pacific Northwest, and she has written this account of her experiences in a "back-to-nature" community in Oregon where she spent a year without electricity, running water, cell phones or the Internet. The author updates obvious comparisons to Walden Pond with new strategies for living "green," using brief episodic chapters to address her adjustment to rustic living. The author uses original illustrations and plenty of black-and-white photographs to emphasize the beauty of nature and the virtues of a simpler life.
