I had the opportunity to interview Kelly Hart. Kelly has shared great knowledge several times a week through his Natural Building Blog for years. If you’ve researched natural building online, you’ve definitely come across some of Kelly’s sites:

In this extended interview, we discuss his introduction to natural building and permaculture, his friendship with Owen Geiger, and life in San Francisco in the mid-60s in the heart of the counter culture. Kelly shares a lifetime of knowledge on earthbag building, adobe, and other methods. We discuss the current state of society and the rise of AI and “smart” devices which have captured so much of our collective attention. We also talk about if a mass ecological awakening is possible and what might help precipitate it.
