Half the world's population now lives in cities. Over the past six years, Austin's Rhizome Collective has been experimenting with transforming cheap, salvaged, and recycled material into the building blocks of urban sustainability. Their burnt-out warehouse has blossomed into a thriving educational center for community organizing and urban sustainability. Through easy-to-recreate examples, two Rhizome founders explain the basics of sustainable urban living, from microlivestock and aquaculture to wastewater recycling and bioremediation of the soil, illustrated in the uniquely recognizable Beehive Collective style. 176 pp.
