The common sense outcome of an interest in preparedness is paradigm shift.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=128p8Fl1SGc&t=948sWould you like to enhance your critique of capitalism, the consumer culture and the American Dream? This presentation offers a lot. Its all to show that if we are interested in emergency preparedness and a livable future, we should be fully engaged in paradigm shift and moving towards sustainability.
The presentation will deconstruct the magic hand, economic efficiency, informed choice, democracy and capitalism go together and more. Important understandings - social engineering, external costs, millions of jobs exist to repair the damage created by millions of other jobs.
The American Dream requires a fundamentally dishonest economic system. Its capitalism and the consumer culture.
We will touch on Edward Bernays and social engineering.
An interest in emergency preparedness can lead to an interest in paradigm shift and permaculture. - Four Seasons Gardening: SUMMER workshop @ LSILiving Systems Institute, Golden, CO
The Four Seasons Gardening workshops serve to educate people about how they can participate year-round in habitat-building, soil-building, carbon-storing & food-producing gardening right in their own yards.
The SUMMER workshop covers these skills and knowledges for the summer season:
- a simple drip irrigation system for all households
- planting in a mulch bed (hot crops)
- plant identification
- summer maintenance using chop/drop
- how/when to "weed" (or as we like to call it, "mulch")
Workshops are led by Zanna Ceesay, head gardener at Living Systems Institute (LSI) in Golden, CO. Contact Zanna for any questions!
