Book GIVEAWAY! Building a Better World in Your Backyard

I’m pleased to announce a book giveaway!

I’ve been in contact with Shawn Klaussen-Koop, co-author of

and he has graciously offered to give away a free paperback copy of his and Paul Wheaton’s book.

If you missed my review on the book, you can read it here → Book Review: Building a Better World in Your Backyard. You’ll understand why I’m enthusiastic about this book, especially now. It’s difficult to read how so many people are uncertain and afraid because of the pandemic. Not only about getting sick, but about their jobs, their homes, and where their lives are headed. This book will help you take back some control in a positive, productive way. For example: you might be interested in cutting your electric bill without sacrificing comfort. You might be interested in cutting your water bill by learning how to water your lawn less, or simple, safe uses for graywater. You might be interested in free ways to increase your garden’s productivity. These are the kinds of ideas you’ll find in this book.

Interested? Here are the particulars for the giveaway:

• It runs from today, May 1st through Thursday, May 7th
• It’s open to anyone (whole world) with the caveat that some places have delayed mail service because of lockdowns.
• You can enter to win a copy for yourself, a friend or family member, or to donate to your public library.
• The winner will be announced on Friday, May 8th.
• The winner will have two days to respond to claim their prize. I’ll need an email address to pass on to Shawn, and he’ll need a mailing address for you to receive the book (no strings attached).

To enter:

• Leave a comment and tell us one way you’d like to build a better world in your backyard. 
• You can score extra entries by sharing this giveaway on your favorite social media, then comment here to let me know.

I’ll be back next Friday to announce the winner!
