Eat Your Trash
I try not to worry too much about the economy — I’m not stockpiling bags of rice just yet — but I gotta say, this thrifty and retro book offers up a nice little backup plan. If things get really bad, I can just eat my trash!
Now all I need to know is how to start chocolate bars from the crumbs left in the foil wrappers, and how to sprout a fifth of gin from a bottle cap. If the consultants can figure that out, I’ll start listening to them again.
