Hi, I’m Matt Bibeau. Part of the content of the permaculture design course (PDC) is an exploration of the ways we can lessen our impact and how to apply technology in an appropriate way. In our upcoming PDC I’ll be teaching at Jeans Farm, one of the examples will be the tiny house we built on-site that has the ability to be fully independent of city electricity and water. Enjoy this documentary made about our tiny home, and consider enrolling in the course! It runs one weekend/month beginning in April. https://www.pdxpermaculture.org/pdc/weekend
