Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Restraint and resourcefulness are the new key words in responsible living. Frugality assumes these habits and stresses reducing, reusing, and recycling. This book explores the means for living through conspicuous consumption and anti-consumerism by downshifting into intentional living and repurposing of goods. Also included are the concepts of recycling and the many shopping options such as consignment and thrift stores, garage sales, freecycling, and others. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
