22.01.2022 A path to lower carbon living. Tune in at 12:30pm on Wednesday the 15th of July 2020. Event will be live at http://www.fb.com/smartlivingballarat/live... Bottom-Up Economics: Do We Need a Revolution in our Homes and Communities From compost toilets to food forests, join Patrick Jones @artistasfamily in a discussion about transitioning our economic lifeways for lower carbon living. Can we revolutionise our economic reality from our homes outwards, or do we persist with a top-down economic frame that is the root of so many problems? What does a home economy look like today? What will we have to leave behind? What gifts will come into play? What will our transitions from one economic frame to another look like? About the Presenter Patrick lives in Daylesford, Australia on a quarter-acre permaculture plot, home to the School of Applied Neopeasantry at Tree Elbow University on Djaara peoples' country. He and his family, base their creative practice on a concept of permapoesis, which simply means permanent making or regenerative living an antidote to disposable culture. They practice an art that participates in what it represents; an art of social warming in an era of global warming. Food ethics and politics are central to their practice. Generating food that brings human and ecological health and global justice is our creative call to arms, within the sphere of the local. http://theartistasfamily.blogspot.com/ This free (now online) talk is hosted by Smart Living Ballarat for the BREAZE Inc. community group, and is part of a free series of monthly sustainability workshops presented every 3rd Wednesday of the month.
