‘A Permaculture Action Story’ Documentary Film Screening
May 7, 2016 @ 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm
Join Jasmine Saavedra of the Permaculture Action Network for a question and answer and screening of the Permaculture Action Tour documentary at Whole Earth Festival.
The first Permaculture Action Tour launched from San Francisco in late September 2014 and embarked on a 32 city quest to empower fans through community action and permaculture education. We travelled with musicians The Polish Ambassador, Ayla Nereo, Mr. Lif, and visual designer Liminus encouraging fans from their show to come out the following days to get their hands dirty in an organized permaculture action day.
We visited eco-villages and permaculture project sites, worked with local organizations and volunteers to transform communities, to spread sustainable and regenerative practices, from building earthships, creating community gardens, planting food forests, to cleaning up public space. These action days engaged thousands of fans across the nation to get involved with projects in their communities and immersed them in a work party focused on building the world so we all can live in it.
We held a permaculture action day in each of the 32 cities we visited, bringing direct community action and education to the concerts and their audiences. With overwhelming support, we held multiple days of action and multiple project sites in several cities, and mobilized thousands of people.
Come watch the feature length documentary and discuss with tour organizer and co-founder of the Permaculture Action Network, Jasmine Saavedra.
