Paul Wheaton will be giving talks at the library during the fourth Monday of the month in January, February and March!!!

What?!?!?!?!?!?! Here's the deets:


Permaculture with Paul Wheaton
Join the “Duke of Permaculture” Paul Wheaton of permies.com and Wheaton Labs for permaculture workshops this winter at your library! Learn about Paul’s strategies and projects involving rocket mass heaters for energy efficiency, passive solar greenhouses, and his Skills to Inherit Property (SKIP) program.


Jan. 23 - Free, Earth Friendly Heat
6-7:30PM in Cooper A/B
An explanation and presentation on rocket mass heaters and how their greater efficiency could save you tons of money and be better at heating your home. Not to mention being easy on the environment!

Feb. 27 - Devious Experiments for a Truly Passive Greenhouse
6-7:30PM in Cooper A/B
Paul explains his innovative plans for a greenhouse that will keep stuff growing even during a Montana winter! Using natural building techniques and without relying on any gimmicky materials, a truly passive solar greenhouse will keep a part of your place a haven from winter's bite.

Mar. 27 - Connecting Industrious Youth with Elderly Landowners
6-7:30PM in Cooper A/B
Got land, but have no one to bequeath it to? Want land, but can't afford it? Need skills to run your own homestead? SKIP is for you! SKIP (SKills to Inherit Property) is an innovative and ingenious program intended to connect elderly landowners with industrious younger folk. Paul explains the whole thing from how you go about getting the skills through hisSKIP events at Wheaton Labs, or through the DIY method in the permies.com forums. This could be the answer for anyone who wants to prevent their legacy from being turned into a development and for those who long for a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and antelope play.

Paul's free permaculture talks have been a hit so far at the Missoula Public Library. MCAT community media have filmed them and made them available for all of us to watch, for free! Please watch, share and 'like' the video on the MCAT YouTube page if you're able to, as they are providing a great resource to the community.

Also, if you're in the neighborhood for the next talk, on March 27th, Paul would love to see you there: https://www.missoulapubliclibrary.org/calendar-of-events/permaculture-with-paul-wheaton/
