Permaculture: Solutions for Modern Living

Dr. Kokayi interviews Andrew Faust, a certified Permaculture designer and someone who embodies the skills that can lead individuals and municipalities back to a reciprocating respectful relationship with the earth. The concept of Nature Deficit Disorder is used to discuss our disconnect from nature and how this affects us. Andrew Faust explains to us how his Permaculture course aims to create that reconnection with nature. Some of the strategies involved include off-the-grid energy systems, landscape design, and the development of eco villages. Faust looks at the level of waste generated from our present way of living and how permaculture offers a solution to our self destructive life styles. He also shares with the audience information on a 14 week course that will be starting up in the middle of August.
