Building a Better World in your Backyard by Paul Wheaton and Shawn Klassen-Koop

I thought it might be nice to have all the Paul and Shawn videos in one spot!









Shawn also has a bunch of short (~13 minute long) podcasts here: https://buildingabetterworldbook.com

Here's some more Building a Better World videos:

I watched that interview of Dr. Pat Baccili with Paul. Like I often do I clicked on the Youtube logo, so I watched it in Youtube. There it's possible to give the video a 'thumbs up' and to comment. I was surprised to see it had only 1 (one!) thumbs up. Of course I gave it a second one, and I wrote my comment.
Maybe many more have watched it here, at Permies ... but then Youtube doesn't count those views. As far as I know more people will see it (because Youtube will show it) if it has more thumbs up (or even thumbs down!) and more comments.

If I ordered a dozen of these books Nov 4th, about when should I expect them to ship? I have had no follow up since the original email acknowledging my order saying they would ship around Thanksgiving. I really was hoping to give them as holiday gifts.

Theresa,

I asked my shipping folks about it and the response was "Our mistake, shipping it now."  And I said "Is it too late to maybe add four decks of permaculture playing cards?" And their response was "Too late."

Wow! What a nice surprise. I guess my friends will be getting New Year's gifts this year. No problem. Do you mean you might send me a link to the Rocket Ovens video? If so, that would warm my heart. (Both literally and figuratively) Thank you so much. Let me know if you need any additional information. With sincere gratitude, Theresa

Theresa,

You are now all set with the rocket ovens movie.

Any way to pick up books in Missoula? I am local, and can save some shipping! Thanks!

Every time we have ever tried to do something like that it has gone weird.  

How many are you thinking?

I wonder if a local bookstore might wanna carry the books?

I would take a dozen... up to you!

You will need to order them the old fashioned way - paying for postage and stuff.  The good news is that I suspect you will get it before christmas!
