Off On Our Own: Living Off-Grid in Comfortable Independence

Did the damage on the East Coast caused by superstorm Sandy this week leave you wondering how you would manage without power?

On Saturday, November 3 at 1:00 p.m., the GO GREEN Club will welcome Ted and Kathy Carns. Their home, the Stone Camp, is said to be the most isolated dwelling in Pennsylvania's Southwest Division. The Carns basically produce most of their own power through their unique lifestyle. They are living a 21st century success story of zero waste, total recycling and astonishing inventiveness. Their five-acre home in western Pennsylvania is a warm, inviting showcase of self-reliant living. They have all the comforts of modern life, from flat screen TV to morning smoothies from their solar-powered blender. Ted is the author of "Off On Our Own: Living Off-Grid in Comfortable Independence."

Learn more about the Carns' 36 year evolution to an off grid, self sufficient, sustainable lifestyle by visiting their web site. Their recently published book, "Off On Our Own", will be available for sale ($17.95) and signing after the program. Register to attend this program online, at the library's circulation desk or call 724-941-9430.
