Human-Scale Tools for a Sustainable World

Uploaded by: peakmoment
Video Description:
Peak Moment 67: At Smith and Speed Mercantile on Orcas Island, hand tools line the walls and tables along with organic wool comforters and non-toxic paints. It's an extension of Kathleen Smith and Errol Speed's off-grid homestead where they work at "the speed of living," using hand tools that reconnect them to the earth.

Thanks for the support! Perhaps we'll have more programming like this as people increasingly see the necessity for sustainability. Maybe our guests are the real heroes and heroines and celebrities of our world.

Are you concerned ... ( 1 year ago by arvadajohn)

Are you concerned with groups such as the Sierra Club attacking your movement. It seems to me that you are attracting people from the cities into areas that were once populated by few families. I, however, am a big fan of you postings and look forward to my many more. Thankyou so much.

Our goal is to ... ( 1 year ago by peakmoment)

Our goal is to bring forward stories of people working towards sustainability, wherever they are, in whatever forms they're trying. Many of our programs so far are set in rural areas because we traveled to such places in the Pacific Northwest in 2006. Our vision is to tape more in cities and suburbs. We welcome ideas for guests and projects, esp. in N. America. --Janaia (host)

Peakmoment is such ... ( 4 months ago by tokyogopop)

Peakmoment is such an invaluable resource! Inspiring AND educational. I have slowly worked my way through many of the episodes. I loved this one in particular. Goes to show that we as humans still have the ability to look back (and forward at the same time) and realize that we CAN survive without fossil fuels. Soon, we may not have a choice......

Kathleen and Errol ... ( 2 months ago by tuco98245)

Kathleen and Errol are the nicest people, and the best neighbors. They genuinely believe in what they are doing and it is almost impossible to go into their shop and not be inspired. I would hope that the local community and tourists alike support this couple and their quest.
