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...

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...

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.

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...

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 cre...

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.

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.

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 e...

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 whi...

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...

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.

We need to borrow from the many ingenious examples of cultures who have responded wisely to their ecological impacts, The terraces all over the Mediterranean were built to stem the tide of severe erosion from centuries of overgrazing with goats and sheep. The terraces of Turkey, Spain, and Greece are mostly a polyculture perennial food forest like we describe in permaculture as a truly sustainable...
