Permaculture Perspectives Podcast

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.

In this podcast I go into why we need a better social ethic for technology in this country and greater literacy in toxicology to navigate these issues around which ones shall we invite into our world and how and why and which ones shall we eschew and avoid.

I also get into why attitude is not what causes cancer or is causing BIPOC people to die from COVID in greater numbers then the privileged white population.

We need to create a future that includes all of the people all of the time not just some of the people some of the time.The Landscapes of permaculture are a pathway to true egalitarian living.

This whole society is substantially, morally and ethically broken and has been for a long time after the utter injustice of colonialism and ethnic genocide against American Indians and a nation built on slavery and exploitation we added industrialization and contamination of our own people. We die at the hands of the police and the military every day and have a sick industrial prison complex full of our ethnic people due to the white supremacists in charge of our government and our economy. Permaculture has the tools to change this inequity and here I outline some of what they are, for those who care to learn.

So much to share and so little time on this Earth! Squandering our window with Nuclear legacies is a travesty and must be stopped. We have to grasp that ethical evolution is essential for the quality of life of future generations. Enjoy these readings on longer cycles of human evolution.
