Join us as Braden Trauth, Assistant Professor of Industrial Design at UC College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, continues his presentation on Mutualism.
“Mutualism” is when organisms benefit all others. Permaculture Design can help empower humans to heal ecological destruction while providing for the needs of all living beings all at the same time. Mutualistic Design builds on both concepts by focusing on guiding humans to enhance the Earth’s productivity of our primary producers (plants) through diverse resilience and systems design, while mimicking them in our built environments and products, enhancing energy and resource independence. Humans are most impactful “Keystone Species” on Earth. In this talk, we will explore questions like: How can Permaculture be transformative? If we want to live more sustainably on Earth, must we transition from being Consumers to being Producers?
Part II of this discussion will include a consideration of how to manage our planet’s water systems during this crisis of climate warming with its increasing occurrence of flooding and draught, surplus and scarcity. We will feature a local community project to manage our city’s archaic sewer system using green infrastructure.
