Publisher Description

From the award-winning director and star of American Hemp Farmer comes “an antic and engaging account of one man’s giant step toward a smaller carbon footprint” (St. Petersburg Times).
 
“If you’re a fan of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy-style humor—and also looking to find out how to raise your own your own livestock to feed your ice-cream fetish—Farewell may prove a vital tool.”—The Washington Post
 
Like many Americans, Doug Fine enjoys his creature comforts, but he also knows full well that they keep him addicted to oil. So he wonders: Is it possible to keep his Netflix, his car, and his Wi-Fi, and still reduce his carbon footprint? 
 
In an attempt to find out, Fine ups and moves to a remote ranch in New Mexico, where he brazenly vows to grow his own food, use sunlight to power his world, and fuel his car with restaurant grease. Along the way he uncovers a slew of surprising facts about alternative energy, organic and locally grown food, and climate change. 
 
Whether he’s installing Japanese solar panels or defending the goats he found on Craigslist against coyotes, Fine’s extraordinary undertaking makes one thing clear: It ain’t easy being green.
