Before there were web forums. Before there was Pinterest or Twitter or Facebook, there was the good old bulletin board. When people wanted to promote an idea or an event they would create a poster and put it up on the bulletin board. Or telephone pole. Or any number of places where people might see it. There is still a lot of value in meatspace posters:

  • It is fun to find a good spot and post something there
  • Can't be censored by AI
  • Paid trolls can only censor your message by finding posters in person
  • Get's you out and about
  • You might have good converations and meet cool people!


  • Now that the heat infographic has been released, who wants to join me in posting it out in meatspace? I just posted it at the college I attend. But there are countless other places I could put it. Organic grocery stores, churches, telephone poles, farmer's markets. Where would you put one? Let's post some copies this weekend! Bonus points if you take a picture of it and post it here.

    It's not the heat infographic, but I recently posted part of the Wheaton Eco Scale infographic on a power pole. It is a nice little poster that gets people wondering about the scale, "Who is Sepp Holzer?" and permies.

    It is time to go full size. The alternate version of the heat infographic prints cleanly on 6 sheets of US Letter size paper. (I use microsoft Paint to print an image on multiple pages) So I printed it out and posted it. I moved the copy that I posted last October to a different location. Got to get this information in front of more environmental engineering students. This school even has an "Energy Reduction Engineering" class. So it is right up their alley!

    I haven't made much time for putting posters up in awhile. Though I did put one of the Heat Infographics in a pile of free materials at a local library. Has anyone else warmed up your printers?
