Summary
part 2 of a 2 part podcast
Paul continues to talk with Samantha.
Paul continues the comparison between him and Mark Shepherd. Mark's work is endless so although he makes money the constant people who show up makes the money meaningless in Paul's eyes.
Paul and Samantha agree that canning food is soul-building. Storing up food is very satisfying. Having a garden which pumps out tons of food, you don't need lots of money. This is the essence of Gertitude.
Paul gets started on Willow feeders. He agrees that the modern sewage treatment plant is an impressive thing but it's reaching the point where it can't be made better without massive investment.
The sewage processing at Wheaton labs separates stuff out, so garbage, poop gray-water etc aren't mixed up. Urine and gray-water can be put directly onto the garden, provided you don't put poisonous chemicals in it there are gray-water safe, and even if you live in an apartment, you can still effect a positive change by using them.
Paul outlines a 5 year plan by which everyone can reduce their impact on the environment. After doing all these all that's left is the poop and that's where the willow feeder comes in. However the willow feeder is a big leap, and he feels that's why the kickstarter isn't doing well.
