Eat Where You Live: How to Find and Enjoy Fantastic Local and Sustainable Food No Matter Where You Live. By Lou Bendrick.

This book was a very easy read for me. The book acted as a resource and guide for people who were uneducated in the areas of: sustainable farming, buying of locally grown foods, how to find and go to local farms, and how to start your own small manageable gardens. The author strongly stressed family involvement

To further extend the project, we were asked to include all the windows, skylights, doors, and furniture drawn on our original floor plan.

In the space, students were asked to provide a door on one of the 14' walls, a set of windows on the opposite 14' wall, and three 2' x 3' skylights equally spaced throughout the room.
