Permaculture [Pr]activism with Sierra Robinson, Morag Gamble & Maia Raymond

It is a delight to share this conversation with 18yo permaculture leader, Sierra Robinson, on the show today on International Youth Day 2020.  Sierra is an articulate and inspiring permaculture activist (practical activist = [pr]activist) and teacher from Vancouver Island, Canada. She gave a brilliant permaculture TEDx talk when she was 17yo in Seattle entitled Beyond Sustainability: A Call for Regeneration. Sierra is also a Regional Crew Director for Earth Guardians - a global youth organisation run by and for young people. She's an aspiring filmmaker and when we spoke to her, she had just finished her homeschooling. Sierra has been around permaculture for 10 years and completed her first permaculture design course when she was only 12yo. She is now reaching so many people with her knowledge, skills and passion and sharing permaculture through the Earth Guardians.Come and listen in to this conversation with Sierra, me and Permayouth representative, Maia Raymond (my daughter - 13yo at the time) and gain a glimpse of the amazing wisdom Sierra already embodies. Hear a little of her story and her work in the world. Note: This interview was recorded just days after tragic killing of George Floyd and riots were erupting around North America and the world. Sierra's friends were on the frontlines and her phone was pinging persistently (I've cut most of them!). In respect, we kept the call short and will continue this conversation with Sierra and the Permayouth another time.Subscribe & ShareThanks for tuning into this conversation today.
