If you've seen PolyCultures, chances are you've seen or at least heard about King Corn. A couple months ago I had the good fortune to bump into and then chat with one of the filmmakers behind King Corn. This has led to the dual bill of their new pro…

Hey now, I'm not cracking on the rhyming; I'm singing its praises (since I certainly don't want to go against the Gospel of Rhymes According to Kanye). I think that if they had been successful in inventing a time machine, it might have overshadowed…

David Pearl commented on Trina Parrish's blog post 'A mobile garden?'
Hey, Kanye would rhyme "system" with "system" - probably three times in a row, or at least three times out of four. It's too bad that time machine didn't work - that really would have been a neat by-product of this garden project! They're showing…

Trina Parrish commented on Trina Parrish's blog post 'A mobile garden?'
I knowwww! It's absolutely inspiring, right? The musical narration is brilliant; the lyrics are totally dorky (I love how they rhyme "system" with "system") but endearing, too. And the talk about the time machine, etc? Hilarious. I haven't seen Kin…

David Pearl commented on Trina Parrish's blog post 'A mobile garden?'
I must make an admission of my own: the King Corn dudes are heroes of mine. All three of these short videos are medium-funny hilarious! When's the last time you saw comedy of that caliber teaching people about local, sustainable food simultaneously…

David Pearl commented on Trina Parrish's blog post 'Gardening at Lorain County jail.'
A notable video to me in how it covered a lot of the benefits of this without even mentioning the environmental angle of this presumably organic (or at least polyculture) growing. It strengthens my belief that there is something for everyone with lo…

I must admit, this is kind of awesome... for places that don't have free land. Around here, it'd just be silly.

An interesting look at permaculture... Thoughts? I, for one, don't think I could handle living in a houseboat... nor do I think saying we must "democratize" the UN is a very telling plan - democracy according to whom? I can get behind most of that…

Permatopia?

I can get behind most of that, though. *shrug*
