Permaculture at Kinsale FEC: A Snapshot from 2005

This short piece was from RTE television in July 2005, and looks at the permaculture course at Kinsale Further Education College. It is an interesting historical piece, as it was filmed the day before the Fuelling the Future conference took place (you see the sign at one point), the event at which the Kinsale Energy Descent Plan was released, which led to the emergence of the Transition movement. Richard Heinberg and David Holmgren were both at the college when this was filmed, and were both interviewed, but RTE didn't know who either of them were, and so the footage wasn't used. Only Holmgren makes a brief appearance, eating pizza! Also features the newly finished cordwood amphitheatre.
