Many of you know me, David Blume, as a revolutionary farmer, an alternative energy expert, and an annoying but effective troublemaker speaking truth to power. Lately I have been consulting around the world helping people solve problems in a way that creates lasting systems small and great. I like that work and look forward to much more of it.
In that spirit, I’m giving my Kindle electronic book away for free. The hard and softcover versions of Alcohol Can Be a Gas! have already been sold to tens of thousands of people, mostly in the U.S. That’s because the hardcover book weighs in at 8 lbs (3.62 kilos). Shipping it anywhere out of the USA costs $100 or more. I want to see the book show up all over the planet. An eBook edition makes that possible.
Why now? I’m inordinately fond of this planet, its creatures and people. Now that I’m 70 years young, getting the book out everywhere it can do some good is more important to me than making a little money on every single book. R. Buckminster Fuller, one of my heroes and the author of the foreword to my book, put it best. “Make the world work for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.”
I meet many other passionate people around the world who also work hard solving problems, and I want them to have this resource and tell others they can have it, too. As a Permaculturist, trained and certified by its founder, Bill Mollison himself, I especially want to make my book available to every teacher and student of permaculture planet-wide.
