Chapters

One of the most important things for me is that my students are starting to teach and produce students that also start to teach, so you get generational teaching. But also that they're setting up educational centers and institutes to further the teaching and expand it wherever they are. I think it's one of the most crucial things that we do is demonstrate no matter how harsh the landscape, we can regenerate it and bring it back into purpose and production. So through with fertility of good design, we can rehydrate, we can reforest, we can set up systems that can produce all the needs of humanity, even if it's extremely harsh. I'm really excited to hear that there's a course coming up in West Virginia, and if people have any doubt that they might want to make a change, they might want to make a difference, they might want to be part of the solution, this is the opportunity. And Kaleb is going to teach you exactly how to do it, and you're going to go away with a completely different vision of how we can work together and fix this world.
