Donate to The Permaculture PodcastOnline:via PayPal Venmo:@permaculturepodcast Today is part two of the conversation with Shaun Chamberlin (Part 1 ), editor of Lean Logic and Surviving the Future, on the work of David Fleming. This time we focus on Shaun including his background, current activities, and what it means to bear David's Legacy. Along the way the conversation touches on a variety of subject related to our work in the modern world, including the role of education, the apolitical need for action on the future, and what we can do to live inexpensively and with directed intent. This is candid, on both of our parts, as we share more of our own private stories as much as the public. Find our more about Shaun and his work at DarkOptimism.org.   Sponsor We’re able to keep the newsletter, email and voicemail going with support from our partners like Joel Dufour and the great people at Earth Tools in Kentucky.

Donate to The Permaculture PodcastOnline:via PayPal Venmo:@permaculturepodcast My guest today is Shaun Chamberlin, the editor of Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It and Surviving the Future, both of which are based on the work of the late David Fleming (1940 - 2010). The conversation is as much a discussion of these books, as it is a celebration of the life of David Fleming, who we get to meet through a series of clips throughout the interview. Without hyperbole I see these two volumes as some of the most important recent texts for any permaculture practitioner, recent convert to long-standing expert, to add to their library. David, through the careful clarifying editing by Shaun, has created the resources that bridge the landscape and our communities, from food to tranistion, in an apolitical, accessible way, covering topics from Abstraction to Yonder. Self-referential, you can open Lean Logic to any page and be lead on a trail of connected thoughts to lead you to ideas that initially might seem unrelated, kind of like going to Wikipedia to look up swales and before you know it three hours have passed and you are now reading about the health risks of tritium , except in a book where everything is related to the resiliency necessary to create a world where humans can survive whatever the future may hold. Enjoy this first conversation with Shaun. He returns in a second interview on December 10.   Get in Touch Email: The Permaculture Podcast Write: The Permaculture Podcast The Permaculture Podcast   Resources Lean Logic (Chelsea Green) Surviving the Future (Chelsea Green) David Fleming (Wiki) Shaun Chamberlin The Transition Timeline Rob Hopkins and The Transition Town Movement (Interview) Transition Network Transition US Richard Heinberg Michael Meacher (Former UK Environment Minister) Ron Oxburgh LeanLogic.net (First publication of David’s manuscript) The Dark Mountain Project Jonathon Porritt
