It had been
several months of
being in touch with
Heather, the
director of Casa
Guatemala, before my
wife Emma and I
finally visited the
once orphanage
turned school, a
sort of haven for
children from
impoverished
families in which
parents can’t afford
to support them.
Otherwise, daytime
students commute
from surrounding
villages to take
advantage of the
better quality
education on offer,
as well as a free
meal and […]

evolved in complex
habitat often with
biodiverse
surrounding that
provide for all of
the fish’s needs

shelter, medicine

are placed in
aquariums and fish
tanks, it often
starts out as a
sterile environment
and then only one or
two main inputs of
water and fish food
go into that sterile
environment, quickly
turning the fish
food into fish
waste. […]

For years now
I have been seeing
posts and hearing
comments from
students about the
enormous amount of
(drinking) water
used by cattle.
Studies propose that
it takes 12,000
gallons to produce 1
pound of beef (or
100,000 liters to
produce 1 kilogram,
see this article).
These studies
however are based on
cattle consuming hay
and grain. Do cattle
consume hay or grain
in their natural
environment? No. It

I like to
think of the four
paths of
permaculture as
learning, teaching,
doing and sharing. I
have spent my time
learning from elders
of permaculture,
learning through
teaching my classes,
learning through
doing in my
community gardens
but perhaps most of

through creating
free open source
permaculture
educational media
and teaching tools
that combine
together everything
I have learned and
share it with the
World Community.
These […]
