A little bit ago, I posted the video of Chad's TEDxKnoxville talk. Today, Tennessee Today posted an interview with Chad where he briefly talks about permaculture, energy, global oil, and cob.

UT Professor Explains How ‘Permaculture’ Can Help us Help Ourselves.

The article doesn't mention the cob wall structure he built in our backyard as a barrier to the alley (The foundation was salvaged from piles of junk left in the empty lot of Standard Knitting Mill during the I-40 SmartFix project.)

or the wall at the Parkridge Community Garden where Knoxville Permaculture members had a workday and learned to build with cob.

We hope to get some projects up and going this spring. You can find events at the Knoxville Permaculture Guild.
