Heinberg “walking the walk” at Permaculture Institute of Australia
May 5, 2012
Post Carbon Fellow Richard Heinberg’s suburban permaculture remodel as documented in a 2008 Peak Moment video was written up recently at Permaculture Institute of Australia.
From the article:
Richard Heinberg not only talks the talk, but also walks the walk, as we get to see in the video at bottom. Peak Moment host, Janaia Donaldson, visits Heinberg and his partner Janet Barocco in their own venture in sustainable living in suburban Santa Rosa, California.
When they bought the place in 2001 it was a complete disaster, Richard tells Janaia, but it had advantages that drew them to it, such as being within walking distance of where they worked and shopping areas, having a large ¼ acre block and the house itself being small enough that they felt capable of remodelling and caring for it.
