I wonder what Someone like Geoff Lawton could come up with if they had unlimited resources for a global greening system for food and reforestation. I would like to see what that would like like say for the Venus Project.

In all the years of video-watching on youtube, I have never posted a comment. This is my first youtube comment.

Everyone needs to re-prioritize their responsibilities and place the learning and implementation of permaculture at the top of their lists. The faster we do this, the faster we will have heaven on earth. Land is cheap if you look far enough away from the cities. Get your own piece of land ASAP!

Now if we can just use this to plant 100 billion trees world wide and reverse the tide of greed and destruction.

If we all planted 1/1000 of what Geoff has, we'd be there already!

This seems like one of those moments.... Maybe one where you think, "yes, let nature do its job instead of burning it all off." or even better "maybe we can actually live through this..."

this area is a desert today precisely because man conquered and changed his environment. this is the 'fertile crescent'- where the 1st agricultural revolution occurred. it's a desert today because of poor ag practice. that is fact. this process is giving 100x more life back to an area that wants and needs it. this is mankind fixing its mistake.

im blown away every time i watch this. how amazing is permaculture. im trying my little vege patch with some pc principles. growing veges in beach sand (live nr beach)- a bit like desert maybe but not 50 degrees C. with mulch and kitchen compost. some success. getting better.

I don't understand why "lowest place on Earth" is a liability. The air has greater density there. Doesn't that assist plants?
