This weekend I (Ray) attended the Bioregional Regeneration Bay Delta unConference Spring ‘26 and folks highly recommended watching The Aqueduct Between Us to learn about the struggles LA (and California at large) have with water.

True eco-conscious design isn't just substituting bamboo for plastic. It's about adopting nature’s R&D, 3.8 billion years of it, to build regenerative systems.

This guide explores moving from "sustainable" (doing less harm) to "regenerative" (healing systems). We analyze biomimicry, closed-loop economies (like the forest floor), and how natural patterns (fractals, spirals) drive efficiency.

A page of quotable quotes from David Holmgren, one of the co-creators of Permaculture. Most of them are from the video at the top of the page, which is an interesting watch if you have 90 minutes to view it.

What did we do to preserve homes before the chemical concoctions we use today existed? Here is an open source plaster and eco-plaster page that explores the options.

Technology and communication have progressed to the point that we are capable of creating an infrastructure of food, energy, and structure self-sufficiency, AND a global network for sharing and evolving it. With this foundation, we can relearn, redefine, and refocus what living is about...
