Prosperity from a Pittance - The New Sustainable Future
In a world overwhelmed by climate change debates and economic uncertainty, one thing remains clear: lasting solutions begin at home. Dr Pat Howden — ecologist, medical researcher, and pioneer of sustainable living — offers a lifetime of insight into how individuals can take charge of their environmental footprint through practical, low-cost, renewable home systems.
Drawing on decades of experience since 1946, including his role as ECOnsultant to Sydney University’s 1974 Autonomous House project, Dr Pat Howden introduces S.H.E. — Sustainable Home Engineering — and his concept of Frugaluxury: a simple, solar-powered lifestyle that’s conservatively run on renewable resources. His approach helps everyday people sidestep the stress of overwork, rising costs, suburban sprawl, and planned obsolescence — while reconnecting with family, community, and purpose.
This book is a hands-on guide to building a resilient future, featuring projects and principles that schools, homesteaders, and makers of all ages will find both indispensable and fun. With the rise of resource shortages and global disruptions, Dr Pat Howden’s sustainable systems offer not just hope — but real economic opportunity for cottage industries, villages, garages, and corporations alike.
From the Men’s SHED Project to his second Sustainable Future Museum and Apt Library, Dr Pat Howden continues to inspire a new generation of ecological thinkers. Here, he shares the blueprint.
“Optimum low cost family is when one partner works, the other helps family become highly self-sufficient. Swap jobs every 6 months or less! Please circulate this text that the world can’t afford to be without – other folk may need tomorrow! Disaster Survival is highly correlated with home multi-tasked self‑sufficiency level!”

Unlocking the Secret of Trust
Unlocking the Secret of Trust relates to the proper relationship we as humans should develop with the Divine. Trust is an element, which wins little attention despite being a key structural component of the Divine Mercy devotion. This element of trust, which is the central word in the script, can normally be found at the foot of the Divine Mercy Image. “Jesus, I Trust in you”. This critically important element of trust has escaped the notice of most speakers, writers, and clergy. It is akin to being presented with a key to a strong room of diamonds, but not being told where it is.
The book addresses those who might be described as the less inspired population when it comes to religious reflection. It is not at all technical and is intended to be easy reading. While each chapter can be taken as a standalone reflection, the book does start by revealing the strategic importance of trust to Satan in the Garden of Eden and it moves along through characters such as Abraham and Moses and into contemporary everyday life where it surveys how we tend to invest our trust.
