May I ask where that is from Cal? If it was a podcast I must have missed it. A lesson I should learn well.

It's not my photo unfortunately. It's one of my backgrounds, but it's beautiful and quiet like the thought.

Love this thread!
Would it be ok to use the circus image and quote on a t-shirt?
Actually I'm planning on up cycling a few garments, I'd love to use some of this stuff on patches here and there if its ok.

A version of that quote is on the dailyish email.

"This is paul wheaton's daily-ish email that is usually about
permaculture and making a better world through learning good things
rather than being angry at bad guys."

Also on one of the earlier (I think, did not listen to them in order, but I have listened to them all ) podcasts he mentions and I'm paraphrasing and forgetful 'that a girl from his first PDC mentioned this idea to him'. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also I will say it is my favorite quote, (the dailyish version) because it actually changed my way of interacting, thinking and living. The first dailyish email I got after signing up, I read that and then reread it, paused, said it out loud, paused again, clankings and whirrings inside my head then went about my life different and better for it. Before that I was beating my head against many walls trying to wake people up with a huge info arsenal I had collected about bad guys and bad guy goings on. I kept thinking there had to be a better way due to my lack of success. My friend woke me up that way, but it took years! Then I get that email and it all fell into place. So simple. That girl definitely payed it forward with that phrase and I plan on continuing it. It is almost self-propagating in a way.

Most problems on earth are caused by humans worrying about little pieces of green paper. Paraphrasing Douglas Adams
I don't care if it takes a compass, pick-axe and night vision goggles to find her. Paraphrasing Steve Martin in L.A. Story

Hm, somehow the links to the pics in the previous couple posts are now broken.

This originally came from the Permaculture Voices Conference FaceBook page, though I've downloaded and attached it here just in case the FB link breaks or doesn't work for people!

Paul Wheaton memes
beauty-of-permaculture.jpg
the real beauty of permaculture is developing a deep romatic relationship with nature
common-sense.jpg
If common sense is common, why does anybody ever use the term common sense?
conflict-resolution.jpg
I think that most conflict comes from a difference of knowledge set. Therefore, true conflict resolution comes from the sharing of knowledge.
debt.jpg
There are hundreds of arguments for the infinite number of paths. I just wish to encourage everybody to have a strong preference to get out of debt and stay out of debt.
do-epic-shit.jpg
If you try to please everybody, the only action is to do nothing. Be okay with pissing off icky people and suddenly you have license to do epic shit.
earthworks.jpg
I see people digging up perennials or choosing to do no earthworks because they don't want to disturb their perennials. Please, everybody... do your earthworks first!
ego.jpg
The truly humble contemplate the word
follow-your-own-path.jpg
when people insist that permaculture won't work, or that isa fools errand, my response in : then don't do it. Follow whatever path you think is great and the rest of us will follow a path we think is great.
human-psychology.jpg
All of human history and 90% of human psychology fits into one sentence: Most people need to hear their own opinion from all other people,and are frustrated when they don't have the might to make it
learning-good-things.jpg
Make a better world by learning good things rather than being angry at bad guys.
make-a-difference.jpg
Wea each have the ability to make a massive positive difference.
native-plants.jpg
I hope that all gardeners and farmers everywhere grow lots of stuff they think is cool. And I hope that one group of farmers and gardeners does not try to impede joy of other farmers and gardeners.
permaculture-umbrella.jpg
there are so many schools of thought under the permaculture umbrella.
recipe-success.jpg
Recipe for success. A triple dose of
the-world-has-problems.jpg
I think that if anybody cares deeply about the worlds problems and tries to think of real tangible solutions, the best solutions will almost always be within the playspace of permaculture and homesteading.
very-real-difference.jpg
When I try to think through the world problems, I think of all the paths I can travel where I can make a very real difference.

Replacing electric heat with a rocket mass heater will reduce your carbon footprint as much as parking seven cars.

No picture (not really worthy of one, I suppose), yet this seemed the best thread for putting this down.

A few minutes ago, I found Paul at his computer, in his office, with bits of sawdust in his beard. (He'd been using the chainsaw earlier.)

paul:  I seem to be decorated with sawdust! It's like glitter, or sparkles, only--
me:  --only more manly!
paul:  next I'm gonna rub some bacon grease on me! [in a deep, ridiculous voice:] Hey, baby!!

Edited to add:  there might have been a "hubba, hubba!" next, but I was walking away. (Hahaha!)

Another meme, this time featuring this quote:

"50% of your petroleum footprint and 35% of your carbon footprint are tied to your food. Grow a garden"

I'm struggling to find a great picture for this meme--anyone have any pictures they think would fit it better? Thanks!!!

I like to call sawdust - man glitter.
I saw that on a meme somewhere.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but, I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
