About this episode
"When we take the poisons out and we grow food instead of lawns, we grow the Garden of Eden all around us." "The idea is simply going back to nature, going back to God, going back to service and love and joy and stewardship of our land." "Permaculture is not only the most loving and logical strategy on how we end hunger globally, but this is also the only way we are going to defeat tyranny." "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve." "Faith and courage have no boundaries." "The answer to war is peace." Today's guest, Jim Gale , was introduced to me by Matt Drinkhahn , the eternal optimist . And my dad said that today's guest, Jim Gale, is the eternal optimist.
