Even though we are separated by many miles we are a collective starting this movement to do just that. It doesn't have to be everyone we just need like 20% or so to hit a tipping point. Just imagine a couple hubs like this on every neighborhood block. This is the future of solar punk guided by permaculture philosophy & design principles paired with ethics of love, freedom, and truth.

This was my permaculture garden's 1st yr. 😊 I'm replacing most all of the lawn with fruit trees, berries, trellises, etc that we can afford. Creating living soil. Composting and reducing trash. Think of how much less packaging too! I love how many squash, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, honeydew melons, and luffas we've gotten! Plus, sunflowers, herbs, flowers, and the stuff still growing! Pumpkins, cherries, grapes, cabbage, brussel spts, broccoli... The last time I had a garden was over 25 yrs ago. With the help of 1000s of utube vids, and actually doing the work this summer, I've learned so much about gardening! I love nature.

Thats why more and more stone beets are going to be forbidden. Just stone, nothing to live there except some bugs.. people wants their concrete driveway and LED and Solar lamps shining on their greedy rich ass while a huge swimming pool is there where this forest full of life could be. Than these rich people get sick, depressed and rot down or suddenly realize it all and change their whole life and lifestyle

Everything is tied to systems of absolute ownership and profit. So now the average person has less resources than would have in wild nature alone. Think 🤔 a homeless man sitting in public streets of San Francisco is guilty of a crime of loitering. That same man sitting under a tree in nature is just a human being. The needs of the man have not changed but the world around has redefined the man. This is what a stereotype ultimately is, a mass redefinition of people who find themselves subject to a hostile environment. We are so used to this manipulation we do not challenge it, implicit bias. Sadly, every injustice empowers a tyrant over time, and greed has no end. The homeless man face has expanded to included even working people, and tyrants rise of wealth in that state makes California wealthy. One of the wealthiest states but with the highest amount of homelessness Capitalism works but only when Equity is dominant. Only when mutual fairness of a transaction is measured both in short and long term. Otherwise it is the predators who gather wealth stolen from unprotected people subjected to prejudice, and desperate people who sellout on long term community assets. Like water in California. The worst thing? they already know none of it necessary. We can end homelessness by building urban homesteads which produce all energy and food for its residents. The same home can recycle on site with excess energy. We can eliminate sewers as human waste would not exist. But money people who don’t live the reality of that need for change will not change. Need is the mother of invention. Until they feel the need to house the homeless it will not happen. Even with government funding for hotels during covid, it is largely unused. Why because the state must fulfill it, but death is the solution to reduce long term taxes. Of course those people are criminalized. The more resilient the poorest people the less profit can be leveraged. Why? Because if poor people atleast exist in a more natural state, absence desperation, with access to the abundance of food and water in nature - they can not be reduced to slave wages. Slavery in America changed form, and the tyrants who followed the pilgrims with slaves in toe have the charge of much politics in their finances lobbies. The solution exist in broad daylight, but we will not save a single pilgrim until we save all the slaves. The power is present upon equity, because that ends the desperation that feeds tyrants. A true free market, real capitalism, requires every being to have atleast the freedom as present in nature. Poverty beyond that is contrived. Abundant, is the solution as we have long had the power to build homes that are homesteads. Be they urban or rural. Look. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Zhu_Yin_Yuan

@@diversitylove5460 I appreciate ur comment, however, u had me until I saw that bldg! Who, in their natural state of mind and heart, would want to live in something so unnatural?! Even it's appearance is like some twisted god-awful monstrosity, come up from the depths of earth to swallow the very nature we wish to preserve. A ginormous corkscrew of concrete and structure to contain more masses is not natural; it's rather a prison compared to actual nature. This structure is not self sustainable nor does it provide true self-sustainability, in the natural sense. I believe we are better off turning all lawns and empty dirt/gravel lots into communal organic permaculture gardens and composting all waste in situ... mostly, learning how to care for life, all life, will make a difference. ❤ it begins in the heart.

@@drawingmomentum you think like a mass market capitalist. Open your mindset. I never ordered you to live in the building. I am not trying to force everyone in a condo. But I am saying for those who see permaculture as the stinky hippie poop coddling unkempt thing for savages, we have better options. So you don’t like cities and want to live in the wild. Great. Some of us have to live in cities and the building demonstrates that even that can be a cleaner version of permaculture. It is a modern version of what was once known in the Bible, as other good books, as The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Most of our food demands and our pollution comes from the city. Nomadic tribal lifestyle, or for wealthy white Americans “earth ships” have within them the same principles you criticized. Why on earth you would object to and urban application because you hate cities is beyond me. If you permaculture all the worlds population in the wild, you will do what the suburbs have done, which is to fence off nature. The fences of the suburbs have prevented the movement of wildlife and they are going extinct. The manicured lawns leave no room for ground birds for example, as we have lost 70 percent of quail. When I watch even Geof Lawson permaculture sites i noticed he too has fences and borders, some of which are green. It’s an organized wild, and it’s occupied by people. So less wildlife will take up residents. There lies the problem. Waves of death 💀 in 3 month increments shall take us down. Saving ourselves means saving all wild life, and so we must look beyond “our personal interest of buying land in blocks so we can grow organic permaculture crops for our own service” So as discussed as you are with cities versus nature, just I say to friends who are afraid of wild unmanicured manure fermenting bug laden compost pile lots, both must adopt more respective principles or it shall be our end. Whether you live in this. kzread.info/dash/bejne/enictpuFh8zHnKQ.html Whether you live in this kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5iqqMRrpqadj7w.html Whether you live in this kzread.info/dash/bejne/qYqkl82ocbLbabA.html Or this. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKWX1bmamszcnqw.html Or even if you live in nothing. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2loqrSml8-_daQ.html It is the principles of recycling your own waste, back into your own food. It is the principle that if you use plastic YOU YOURSELF can recycle it onsite by using ouester mushrooms, meal worms, wax moths, or a shredder and 3D printer. It is the concept that waste water never need exist, and that nothing we make should be left as garbage. It is the idea tha we must go beyond integrating our food systems into to some organized version of nature, but that we remove the barriers we have set upon Wild life. Even in our cities, we must create as many greenways as highways. www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/4657_Labaree_Jonathan-1-201307091642.pdf As research indicate it is essential to wildlife. They are also beautiful and can safely convey passing even through cities. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zq2axraolNHXetY.html your prejudice against condo life is a prejudice against a lifestyle choice, and possible a reaction to the criticism often out on permaculture or nomadic cultures or traditional tribal cultures. I get it. It’s an implicit bias in a sense. The the pre judgement and condemnation will destroy an opportunity for a healthier world. Implicit bias can only be revealed by substitution of subject. The object of the insult must be substituted by something endeared and spoken within the same context. So sorry for mischaracterizing permaculture, but I did need to reveal the level of judgement which prevented you from seeing the principles, from whatever design, as the critical aspect of saving the world. America will lose a million people by February in these waves of death. Other less deadly viruses are on the rise. Our pollution has interfered with the metabolism of nature itself, like an herbicide to a mono crop; there is a consequence. A growing consequence. I actually respect all lifestyles, even though I like you would préfère being bound to earth. I am not comfortable in any high rise. I won’t condemn the people who are, but respect the ability and need to integrate these restorative principles. I am scared. That the earth will suddenly turn just as water suddenly boils after the pot is stewing for awhile. The earth has been stewing in our pollution and mass murder and neglect of wildlife for some time. So yes, I will continue to speak to our ability, irrespective of our life style, to do better. Waves of death must end

This is the the BEST thing ever. I love this video so much. I will make it my go-to when I need cheering up or inspiration. What an incredible achievement that garden is. Love that you are that kind of Dad as well that you included the super cool edited skateboard bit. Amazing.

Absolutely inspiring, deserves to be shown to everyone to show them how the natural world provides indiscriminately. If everyone knew this, they wouldn't tolerate the scarcity-driven economy and the suffering it causes. Fantastic video. [QE]

Absolutely beautiful! Seeing a permaculture design in maturity makes me so happy. I'm stoked to be taking your PDC course this fall, and hope I'll be able to do something similar in the future. Thanks for the tour! :)

If a state decides to put a land-grant agricultural college in a town, you better believe it's one of the best spots in that state for growing things. I love Corvallis! Greetings from Eagle Point, Oregon. ❤

The world sure is abundant! You remind me of my walk home from school when I was young--we used to just eat all kinds of berries that grew wild along the road. City folks don't know what they're missing, but maybe your work will enlighten them...

Such an inspiration! This is what I'm hoping my yard looks like in a few years. I started my food forest last fall :)

You win the prize for first person to get the correct date :-) No, we are not self sufficient on this land. It really changes by season, but on average I'm guessing we may produce 10% of our food in total. But that also includes the fact that a lot of the food is available for public consumption. If I was a more diligent annual gardener, that amount could go up by a lot.

It's good to see rain water harvesting in America...... You are doing great job

That is such a gorgeous garden. Thanks for the video!

Great production on this video your, I've been struggling to find a cool way to do a tour of my similarly sized 1/3 acre residential mini food forest.

Very inspiring Andrew. This is a fun video too. I noticed that when I let grass grow all over my yard during the rainy season, then the ground retains water longer - past 2 years. I want to replicate this at the farm using the techniques shared from your visit to India. That can work very well for my farm since I depend on seasonal rainfall. It will take years but I will eventually have a micro-climate at the farm too.
