The accessible guide to permaculture and living sustainably no matter your living space.

Whether you're a renter, homeowner or apartment dweller, Everyday Permaculture is the guide to sustainable living for everyone. This book gives practical and simple ways for people to incorporate permaculture and other eco-friendly habits into their lifestyle, no matter where they live.

Sustainability educator and author Anna Matilda, aka 'The Urban Nanna', has created a practical guide to empower readers – singles, families, retirees and everyone in between – to start living sustainably. In essence, permaculture (which is one of the best known ways of living sustainably) is a systems-based, sustainable way of living that builds a permanent culture of community connection, earth stewardship, and care of all living things. This comprehensive yet highly accessible book focuses on how homeowners, renters and those with limited space can adopt these eco-conscious ideals and changes into their lifestyle – from organic waste management and foraging to 'scraptastic' cooking and a section about preserving personal energy and wellbeing.

By equipping readers with the adaptable tools needed to develop the craft of living an authentic, sustainable existence in every space, Everyday Permaculture offers solutions to help ease the personal stressors and struggles that affect everyone, while combating climate change and the cost of living.
