Green Tech Fact Check with Joel Meadows


Listen Later

My guest today is Joel Meadows, a phenomenal human who happens to be a permaculture teacher, rocket oven engineer, energy geek, green tech sceptic, sculptor, illustrator, musician and composting ninja.

This is one epic episode that encompasses:

🌟Are renewables really all that?

🌟Why we’re using more fossil fuels than ever *cry*.

🌟Smart phone free life.

🌟Being deliberately abnormal.

🌟ROCKET OVENS.

🌟Why everyone is practical + can learn shit.

🌟Three steps to household energy resilience.

We recorded this convo at Joel’s kitchen table, in his majestic solar passive strawbale home after gorging ourselves on a garden omelette and roasted wattleseeds.

I wrote about the experience in neurotic detail over on Substack and included masses of photos of Joel’s home + garden for your voyeuristic needs. Here it is.
