Green Tech Fact Check with Joel Meadows
Description
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. Here it is.
