Lately, I’ve been spending more and more time reading articles from LOW←TECH MAGAZINE. It’s hard not to appreciate the ingenuity behind most of their content. And even if you’re not going to unplug your house from the grid or start making everything yourself, it makes a very informative read that keeps challenging many closely held beliefs. And usually, even the comment section of each post contains interesting exchanges.
The more I keep reading the more one concept keeps popping in my mind: decentralization.
Some recommended articles:
- Ditch the Batteries: Off-Grid Compressed Air Energy Storage
- How Much Energy Do We Need?
- Can We Make Bicycles Sustainable Again?
- How to Design a Sailing Ship for the 21st Century?
- The Revenge of the Hot Water Bottle
- Or just go peruse the archive page.
They also just released a thematic book:
We have launched a new series of books opening up Low-tech Magazine’s archive by theme. The first volume collects all articles on digital technology and is available in our bookstore.
