The Self-Sufficient-ish Bible: An Eco-living Guide for the 21st Century is a nonfiction book by British twins Andy and Dave Hamilton. The book was first published in 2008 by Hodder & Stoughton.

The book has received reviews from publications including Library Journal , Resource Magazine , Bristol Post , The Times , and Publishers Weekly . [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Publishers Weekly stated that the book was a "inspiring blueprint for eco-living" and that the "book's lush color photography, earnest prose and pragmatic approach will appeal widely as concern over global warming mounts". Drawbacks pointed out were that "much of its information can be found on the authors' own popular site and the exclusive British focus leaves those in other countries confused during lengthy discussions of specific Edible mushrooms and Planting calendars". [7]
Sustainable living describes a lifestyle that attempts to reduce the use of Earth's natural resources by an individual or society. Its practitioners often attempt to reduce their ecological footprint by altering their home designs and methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet. Its proponents aim to conduct their lives in ways that are consistent with sustainability, naturally balanced, and respectful of humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's natural ecology. The practice and general philosophy of ecological living closely follows the overall principles of sustainable development.
