Sustainable Living Made Easier

Sinopse

Sustainability, Energy Reset, Green Economy and Resilient Future

We live in a world where our environmental footprint is growing. The demands of a modern lifestyle require us to be more aware of our impact on the planet. People must learn to be more conscious of their consumption.
The new era of sustainability is now becoming a dominant theme in all aspects of our businesses, communities, and living spaces. With its ever-evolving technologies, such as green finance, renewable energy, electric vehicles, and sustainable design and construction, this age is taking root in every aspect of our lives.
Sustainability is crucial for the future of our planet, and as a means of consumerism, we need to step up our game, or risk things going haywire.
“Sustainability” starts with a few basic questions. What does sustainability mean? What does it look like? What are the steps that will lead to sustainable living? What will happen when people begin to live more sustainably?
In this book, we will also examine the current transition from an economy dependent on fossil fuels to one dependent on solar energy, innovations in electric vehicles, development in green economy by investing in renewable energy sources; eco-friendly urban mobility; urban green spaces; and sustainable food systems. These green spaces require significant changes to the lifestyles of their residents.
But in reality, we already are consuming more than we can sustain. Every action we take, from shopping to flying to walking, contributes to environmental degradation. It doesn’t have to be this way. Everybody has the power to change the way we live and we all have a responsibility to help shift the needle. Everything we do matters. And even if you’re not ready to make drastic changes right now, there are plenty of things you can do today

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Barbara Robinson

The six Herdman children are “absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world.” They lie and steal and smoke cigars. They even burned down Fred Shoemaker’s old toolhouse. Now they’re taking over the Christmas pageant. The Herdmans have never heard the Christmas story before, and they don’t know anything about shepherds or Wise Men. When Imogene hears about the swaddling clothes, she demands to know why anyone would tie up a baby and put him in a feedbox. Leroy, Claude, and Ollie are planning on a gift that means much more than gold, frankincense, and myrrh—the ham from their Christmas basket. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, now also a television movie, has been a favorite of children and their parents since 1972. As C.J. Critt’s spirited narration captures the lively and outrageous spin that the Herdmans put on the Nativity scene, listeners will delight in this unusual and refreshing interpretation of Christmas.

A son went back into the storehouse for more but when he came out again the North Wind robbed him one more time. The guy was very angry - he thought he should go to search the North Wind and ask him to give up his meal. His way was very long but at last he came to the North Wind's house. He asked the North Wind to get back the meal the Wind took from the storehouse. But the North Wind answered that he hasn't any meal.

Wild Boy

Rob Lloyd Jones

In the seedy underworld of Victorian London a boy is born and abandoned. 
Snatched up by an unscrupulous and abusive showman, Wild Boy, covered in hair from head to toe, becomes a sideshow freak. Isolated from other children and wickedly abused by the cruel master who bought him, Wild Boy becomes an avid observer, developing Sherlock Holmes-like deductive skills. Although he is tormented and insulted, kicked and spat at, his quick mind takes in everything he sees. When a murder occurs at the fair, Wild Boy is hastily accused. Can he use his powers of deduction to save himself? And will the talented and spunky young acrobat Clarissa be with him-or against him? 
Listeners will be swept along by the cinematic pace, immersed in the vivid historical setting, and gripped by suspense as they wait to find out if a better fate could possibly await someone so very different.
