Ep# 46- Catch & Store Engery I Unpacking Permaculture Principles I Mini Episode

Hi it's Jo, In this episode, I discusses the principle of Catch and Store Energy. By capturing energy when it’s abundant—like sunlight, water, and wind—and storing it for later use, we reduce dependence on non-renewable sources and ensure a steady supply of resources. Practical examples include solar panels, rainwater harvesting, composting, greenhouses, biogas digesters, thermal mass, and DIY solar ovens. These methods build resilience into our systems, making them less vulnerable to challenges like droughts and energy shortages. I share simple steps to get started and encourages us all to think creatively about energy sources and incorporating multifunctional aspects into daily life. By catching and storing energy, we create a buffer against fluctuating resources, promoting a resilient and self/community sufficient lifestyle. Tune in to learn how small changes can lead to significant impacts and take on the challenge of enhancing your energy storage methods.
