Permaculture Perspectives Podcast

Herein I breakdown the flaws of the present centralized fossil fuel model of economic growth. Then I outline what the retrofit process looks like fore creating greater regional autonomy as an economic goal.

Here I am laying the conceptual foundation for how to use permaculture For creating a new model of economic development. A model focused on greater regional self reliance and less import export dependency with our energy sources being renewable and local.

Here I take a different path and read from a Address that Vonnegut gave to Bennington college graduating class.A Great piece on military science, pessimism and religion all in an address to College graduates in 1970. Give a listen and let me know what you think! His insights and viewpoints I felt were of great use to us all today. I hope you enjoy it.

In this broadcast I get into the permaculture vision of abundance, where does it come from and how do we achieve it? I also share a music track I recorded with my daughter Juniper at the end.

Herein I build on the theme of giving a in-depth exploration of the foundations of Permaculture. I share examples from consultations we have done recently and how to read the landscape in order to know how to fit in and be suited to the places we call home.

This is field recording I did one night in Vermont while teaching a class at Yestermorrow. The recording is a little lower quality sound, but great peepers in the background. I get into the beginning of a topic I will be expanding on in future broadcasts; Scaling up Permaculture to be applied at a Regional and watershed scale as the foundation of a new economy.

This a candid conversation with Permaculture Designer extraordinaire! Lisa DePiano, about what brought her to permaculture how to use it to navigate through the chaos of modernity!

This is an exploration of the era when we transitioned from Paleolithic hunter gatherer societies to Neolithic producers and Farmers. I also explore the permaculture solutions that emerge from this historical overview.

This is my second piece on the Permaculture Principle Use Biology. I like to dig deep! ...here I go into a good background of earth history of Life to inform and inspire the view of working cooperatively with evolution through permaculture design.

This a exploration into the depths of our Principle to Use Biology, this is a two part series that I am doing on this principle. Here I lay the groundwork that i will build on in #2 on how to use biological resources.

Mark Krawczyk and I discuss renewable energy initiatives in Vermont and some of the issues of scale that come up around them.

Permaculture designer Andrew Faust of Center for Bioregional Living gives us an inspiring and heady narrative about the evolution of all life and human consciousness on Mother Earth. This is a brilliant condensation of the core of the scientific worldview with the metaphysical implications highlighted along the way.
