Living Lightly and Inconsistently on the Land was published in 1991 as part of The Global Citizen (Island Press).

In this essay Donella Meadows reflects on the evolution of her own lifestyle, from affluent upbringings, to eyeopening travels through the Middle East and India, to finding ways to live sustainably on the land in a society that doesn't make it easy to do so.

We hope you'll enjoy it!
