Fundamentals of Sustainable Living is a comprehensive educational course from The Great Courses, led by Professor Lonnie A. Gamble. Over 12 insightful lectures, this course provides a practical roadmap for anyone looking to reduce their environmental impact while enhancing their quality of life. Unlike traditional environmentalism that focuses on scarcity, Professor Gamble teaches a "regenerative" approach—showing you how to build systems that give back more than they consume.
This 2-DVD set covers a wide array of essential topics for modern self-sufficiency, including solar energy solutions, green building techniques, and organic gardening. Whether you live in a rural homestead or a city apartment, you will find actionable strategies for sustainable water use, non-toxic home products, and local food production. This collection is a vital resource for those looking to transition toward a more resilient and eco-conscious lifestyle.
