In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Paul Wheaton, the Duke of Permaculture, owner of Permies.com and RichSoil.com, and author of the recent book “Building A Better World In Your Backyard Instead of Being Angry at Bad Guys”, which teaches readers how to save money, conserve energy (and even create your own), and save the environment—all while living a more luxuriant life.
Paul and I have an engaging conversation about moving beyond sustainability, his now-famous Wheaton Eco Scale, and how to lower your 30 tons of carbon footprint impact to -400 tons!
Paul is giving away free copies of his book for the first 72 hours that the podcast is up, so if you'd like to get a copy of Building A Better World In Your Backyard Instead of Being Angry at Bad Guys, email paul@richsoil.com and tell him I sent you!
