This podcast is called Natural Wonders. It’s a bit older, new to me, with a former park ranger talking about nature. It’s nice! Nothing fancy. Like your uncle musing about nature, after doing some background reading. I originally wanted to call my podcast “natural wonders!”
My goodness, it’s only been three weeks and I’m already posting another episode! Thanks to some help from my friends at Sunseed, this one came along quickly.
In this episode: Sunseed Desert Project is a small sustainable community in the south of Spain.

In this episode: Four short stories about sustainability. Katie Tackman on banana circles, Chris Canaday on urine-diverting dry toilets and solar disinfection of water, and Frederique Cebron on his family’s five-year journey to find people developing techniques for sustainable living.
**CORRECTION: Chris Canaday pointed out that normal amounts of soap are not harmful if dispersed on the soil. Definitely NO BLEACH though.**

Podcast Episode 2: Traditional Harmony with Nature—the Waorani
In this episode…
Chris Canaday of the Omaere Ethnobotanical Park discusses how the Waorani (an indigenous group of people who live in the Amazon of Ecuador) use the rainforest as a renewable resource.

A few articles about the ethics of contacting isolated people and about the Waorani’s difficulties with oil companies can be found here, here, or here. This is by no means a complete selection!
The next episode will feature a few modern ideas for living in harmony with nature.
