My guest today is Joel Meadows, a phenomenal human who happens to be a permaculture teacher, rocket oven engineer, energy geek, green tech sceptic, sculptor, illustrator, musician and composting ninja.This is one epic episode that encompasses:🌟Are renewables really all that?🌟Why we’re using more fossil fuels than ever *cry*.🌟Smart phone free life.🌟Being deliberately abnormal.🌟ROCKET OVENS.🌟Why everyone is practical + can learn shit.🌟Three steps to household energy resilience.We recorded this convo at Joel’s kitchen table, in his majestic solar passive strawbale home after gorging ourselves on a garden omelette and roasted wattleseeds.I wrote about the experience in neurotic detail over on Substack and included masses of photos of Joel’s home + garden for your voyeuristic needs.
