TODAY’S ECO WAKE-UP CALL: “The threat of nuclear weapons and man’s ability to destroy the environment are really alarming. And yet there are other almost imperceptible changes - I am thinking of the exhaustion of our natural resources, and especially of soil erosion - and these are perhaps more dangerous still, because once we begin to feel their repercussions it will be too late.” (Source: The Dalai Lama’s Little Book of Inner Peace)
Today’ show, we go back to basics. Instead of fighting against nature, we learn now to follow her lead. Our guest, Nate Downey of Santa Fe Permaculture and author of “Harvesting the Rain”, will share with us how the art and science of permaculture not only restores our land, but our lives.
