Publisher's Synopsis
This practical guidebook describes the full range of green and 'good living' activities that exist in the West Country's most vibrant city. Chapters cover Bristol's many neighbourhoods and micro-communities, illustrating their different cultures. Through a selection of maps, tours, stories and case studies the book highlights the 'good' and 'green' activities taking place, alongside future plans for sustainable living. The guide also includes insights into the work of a number of key projects that have had an impact on 'greenness', not just at local but also at national and international level. Themes from across the city emerge: food and micro-energy projects, street parties, plastic bag-free communities, and numerous activities springing from a cooperative city lifestyle. Stories from influential locals speak of new ways of living and learning together. The book shows what 'good living' Bristol folk are up to, and how others can get stuck in. It is an inspiration.
