How To Go Further: A Guide to Simple Organic Living
with Woody Harrelson & Friends
Based on the film "Go Further" by Ron Mann.
Compiled and edited by Frank Condron.
Published by Warwick Publishing.
There are plenty of reasons for socially and environmentally conscious
people to feel discouraged these days, but Woody Harrelson wants us to
know that we still have the power to change the world for the better.
A few years ago, Woody and some of his closest friends - including a yoga teacher,
a raw food chef, and a confessed "junk food junkie" - bicycled down
the Pacific coast to encourage people to "walk on the earth with a lighter
footprint." Called the "Simple Organic Living (SOL) Tour," the
journey was recorded by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ron Mann for what would
become the hit movie, Go Further.
Now, with the recent publication of his book How To Go Further: A Guide to Simple
Organic Living, Woody hopes that the message of leading a happier, healthier
life while using less of the world's resources will reach even more people.
How To Go Further covers a wide-range of topics such as organic food, alternative
energy, yoga, and activism, and features Woody's personal account of self-transformation,
along with similar messages from others who were on the tour, such as Steve
"Jedi" Clark (the former junk food junkie).
"I believe the way I choose to live my life now," writes Woody in
the book, "is more considerate, kind, and ultimately fulfilling than the
way I lived in the past. When I started my transformation, I don't think I believed
I could incorporate the changes I've made into my life. But I was open to the
ideas and made the changes I could, ok, you can find other ways to do things."
The book also features stirring essays from activists such as John Schaeffer,
who is the founder and president of Real Goods, a company devoted to creating
alternative energy options, and Howard "Twilly" Cannon, who is a former
skipper of Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior.
Naturally, the book is a model of sustainability - it's printed on 100% post-consumer
recycled paper using vegetable-based soy pigments, and its coatings are non-chemical
based.
How To Go Further is an entertaining and amazing resource both for people new
to the eco-movement and for those looking for even more inspiration and reasons
to walk on the earth with lighter footprint.
