#005-During a visit to my ecocentric cousin's land, I learned how he was able to create an oasis for nature and himself through permaculture and sustainable living. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • Ecological restoration and some of the historic and current threats that are transforming our natural spaces.
  • How humaneur composting is easier than you think and could protect wildlife and provide a cleaner water supply.
  • Grafting, growing your own food, and foraging can help you save money and connect you to the land and the food you consume.
  • Some inspirations that I took away from the visit and how to start implementing some simple changes right now.
