Permaculture Perspectives Podcast

Looking over the issues of the last two years as we enter 2023; vaccines, masks, the pandemic, war in Ukraine, overturning of Roe vs. Wade and offering a long view to our evolutionary trajectory. Here I dig into some themes that have come up over the past two years of the pandemic and addressing our media mindset.

Here Adriana reads from and we discuss articles in a really cool quarterly called Noema- This edition linked here, and we start and return to the theme of this-https://www.noemamag.com/quarterly-capitalism-cant-compete-with-china/ We explore topics ranging from the Global and U.S. economies and their true costs, to a philosophy of women and children first and technology and it's role in our lives to day, Enjoy our conversation, we did! We always appreciate your responses and feedback. In the discussion referenced on impacts of the grid- NIH data abt. power lines proximity- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4931365/ "Results: For leukaemia, there was a slight excess of cases within 50 m of a transmission line over 200 kV (odds ratio 1.4, 95% confidence interval 0.7–2.7). There was no evidence of increased risk for distances beyond 50 m, for lower-voltage lines, or for CNS cancers." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1128834/ "This meta-analysis tends to confirm the presence of an associ

Here I go into some of my favorite ancient sites and to balance the bogus science behind a popular series called Apocalypse. The books I read from are first Gobeki Tepe by Avi Bachenheimer, next is a reading from Early Humans By Nick Ashton, and wrapping up with a reading from Brian Fagan's book The Long Summer: How Climate Changed Civilization. www.permaculturenewyork.com https://www.facebook.com/andrewfaust

Economy, war, ecology and human integrity. Where and how will the change happen that must happen? Looking at politics, nuclear legacies and applying our collective efforts where they are needed. A correction on a number I give for how many people died in Hiroshima from the dropping of Little Boy, not 10,000 but more like 66,000. TABLE A: Estimates of Casualties Hiroshima Nagasaki Pre-raid population 255,000 195,000 Dead 66,000 39,000 Injured 69,000 25,000 Total Casualties 135,000 More here- https://www.atomicarchive.com/resources/documents/med/med_chp10.html

Readings and thoughts on the main premise of these books and a review of them. I highlight how these all converge into a permaculture understanding of the world and where our work is best applied.

Market driven Permaculture is droll and meaningless what we need are regional scale permaculture solutions to the broken industrial nightmare we live in. Sadly many people in Permaculture act as if it is our task to show the technocrats that they can make money with permaculture methods, it is not nor has it ever been a worthwhile endeavor what we need are comprehensive master plans that make the present food system obsolete.

Responding to Russia's invasion of the Ukraine and looking at the history of propaganda in Nazi Germany and through history. The history of sewage sludge in the U.S. landscape and designing resilient local renewable energy systems to address waste issues and oil dependence.

The Nuclear Power infrastructure in the U.S. has sacrificed future generations and has destroyed our nations economy. The only intelligent decision is to expunge all considerations of this monstrous technology and decommission all Nuclear power plants and clear our minds of this nightmare and clean up our communities. Save the planet and the people from a morally and ethically toxic phenomenon created by our species.

This is a highly in-depth interview with one of the most revered historians in our region Evan Pritchard in our first segment we discuss the Munsee tribe and their names for our streams here, the Kahaksink is the Rondout and Ankerops the Vernooy and more, you will hear about in our first discussion, in a series of interviews with Evan I am releasing.

Herein you will find a clear and concise outline of what our national priorities must be to achieve true resilience and to truly deal with the roots of our ongoing crisis of Climate Change and Ecological destruction.

Hear about a year long apprenticeship with the Center For Bioregional Living with Ben our most recent apprentice, handing off the keys to those who study with us!

Some of my personal life philosophy in this broadcast. Why work for works sake is not needed, how do we find meaning and the utter meaninglessness of identifying with your position on vaccinations, organic food, veganism or the sexual politics of meat .

Here I share the history of how Colonialism laid the foundation for industrialization and unprecedented human exploitation of one another and the planet. I read sections from each of these books shown and how the theme of history reveals the patterns of our demise and of our healing solutions.

Permaculture Perspectives on Cars and Computers. Why neither are important parts of our lives.

A candid interview with Greg Peterson of Urban Farm.org a old school Permie, kick'in it out in Phoenix AZ for more the 30 years professionally batting for the Earth, don't miss us talking shop about making a living teaching and creating Permaculture and Urban gardening!

Here I am explaining the history of specialization and exploitation in the western world starting with it's roots in the economic model of today. This is a synopsis of a great deal of research i have been doing that I am sure you will find valuable and insightful.Thanks for listening!

This podcast is about taking the power back from the hoarders and exploiters of the twentieth century.I read from four different books, to give a sense of perspective and directions for positive growth. This is why we need a decentralized means of production for food first and energy and transportation too.

If many of our locally consumed potatoes, onions, squash and beans came from this amazingly rich and fertile field, where those solar panels are going off 209 across from walmart , we would not be letting it happen, it would not have even been considered. This is the fundamental issue I want to put together a master plan for our watershed and our communities, to be more food independent and more energy independent. This dovetails beautifully when the goals of greater local food autonomy year round full diet food production goal with a integrated and thoughtfully designed renewable energy system, are combined, when kept separate, we sacrifice food growing for energy. This is because of our industrialized import/export model of land use and economic growth. We need a new model of growth that focuses on greater local/regional food and energy security, integrated in a plan for resilient long term investments in a sustainable infrastructure for our region.

I go into some toxic legacy information and why I teach and how Upattinas, in Glenmoore,PA. , influenced my educational philosophy. This was a K-12 school that I both graduated from, and then taught at, for a decade and created my trademark ecological literacy curriculum there. I read a dissertation on educational philosophy I wrote in 1998. Please listen and enjoy!

The worst actor on the global is stage is and has been the United States for the past 70 years we have held the world hostage at gun point with a toxic nuclear bullet to their head. It is racist propaganda to call China anything other then our brother and sister in this struggle on earth to bring the U.S. military under control.
