This week on Free Markets, Green Earth, Nicky P and The Liberty Hippie have a discussion about the goals of the show. Our main tenet is that free markets, private property and innovation are the best case for protecting the environment. Leaving protection to the government is one one of the worst ways to safeguard mother nature. We also reiterate the need for your help to grow the show. All with the irreverence you've come to expect. Lets teach the world how to really save the earth. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/freemarketsgreenearth/message

This week on Free Markets, Green Earth, Nicky P and The Liberty Hippie are joined by Elizabeth Melton a long time liberty lover from Georgia. Elizabeth was nominated by the Georgia LP to run for Public Service Commissioner in the 2020 election. What is a PSC? What do they do? All we knew going into the interview was it had something to do with utilities. You know, those government imposed monopolies we are all forced to take part in. Utilities are one of the few places it's hard to even opt out thanks to zoning regulations. Is Elizabeth going to be able to help a public already reeling from the coove? What are her feelings on the EPA? Find out both with a listen.

On episode 55, the Liberty Hippie is joined by homeschooling father, William Haun.

Join the Liberty Hippie and James Davis for episode 50 of the Homesteads and Homeschools podcast as they enter into the world of parenting to talk about...peaceful parenting! For some, peaceful parenting can seem a bit exotic, and almost impossible to achieve, for others, it's just a form of laziness, and for those that practice it, it can become the facilliator of a beautiful relationship between parents and children, while setting those children up for great success in the future. Take a listen and see how peaceful parenting can benefit not just your children, but you.

Lisa is a homeschooling mother of over seventeen years who experienced some of the confusion and unsureness that comes when it's time for a homeschooled student to apply to college. Through her experience she decided it was a worthy cause to become a college admissions advisor to lend her knowledge and skills to other homeschool families trying to navigate the murky waters of college entrance.

In this episode, the Liberty Hippie sits down with Mike Barnhouse of Broken Shovel Farms. Mike and his wife grew up around gardens and farms so when they found a place to settle down, of course they started their own garden. Over the years the garden has grown to include a market garden and some sheep. Recently, they were even able to add some adjoining acreage to grow their homestead even bigger with fruit trees and more gardens. We talked a bit about their decision to homeschool their children, and one of Mike's hobbies that has turned into a side business: roasting coffee!

Episode 24 finds the Liberty Hippie taking to the president of the Libertas Institution, and author of "Lessons from a Lemonade Stand," "Passion-Driven Education," and, of course, The Tuttle Twins series. We talked about how he ended up deciding that homeschooling was the correct decision for his children, and how he came to write the Tuttle Twins, and the importance of teaching children about liberty and sound economics.

In this episode, the Liberty Hippie sits down with Brian Engelman of The New American Media. Brian has been curating content on YouTube that ranges from gardening, to sports, to politics for eight years. After moving to LA, Brian bought a condo in an HOA and eventually made the decision to start making his immediate environment healthier and friendlier; one of the main ways he did this was through container gardening. We talk about how Brian's experiments in container gardening got started, and grew into a community wide project offering free vegetables and plants to other members, and how the improvements he made bettered everyone.

If there is one kingdom of life that is routinely ignored and completely undervalued its that of the Fungus. There are so many uses for fungus and their mycelium, but the field of mycology is still growing and its uses are still being discovered. In this episode, the Liberty Hippie and Nicky P. talk about the many uses of mycelium and fungus that are being used across many different fields from meat substitutes to plastic digestion to biopesticides. The uses for mycelium will continue to grow through free-market demand and research. Stay tuned.

Kid's movies are low brain power, easy watching films that allow a time to "bond" with your kids while allowing the adult brain to relax and reset; that is, of course, as long as the film doesn't present mind-bending, indoctrinating, anti-human propaganda. Unfortunately, many kid's movies seem to be going this route. This week the Liberty Hippie and Nicky P. take a look at Over the Hedge, a film from 2006 that only has a handful of human characters, but presents them with near zero redeeming qualities.

This week on Homesteads and Homeschools, the Liberty Hippie is joined by former homeschooler, currently in pursuit of a PhD, Kayla Fox. Kayla is from Texas and went did her undergrad work near home before venturing north to Montana for some of her PhD work. We discussed some of her experiences homeschooling, as well as her experiences making the transition from homeschool to college. After the interview with Kayla, the Liberty Hippie talks about some politicians in Kentucky trying to meddle in some homeschool affairs by hindering the ability of "truant" students to be removed from public school and enrolled in an homeschool program.

This week the Liberty Hippie had the pleasure of speak with Lloyd Cowan of Madison, ME. Lloyd is your typical urban homesteading type who spent some years out west before coming back to Maine and using his urban lot to grow vegetables, house show chickens, layer hens, and keep a handful of goats for dairy and soap. The show opened with Lloyd giving a little run down of his history and how he came to be an urban homesteader, but it's the happenings of his town that drew the interest of the Liberty Hippie. In June 2018, the town board held a meeting and took a vote by a show of hands on a ordinance that would effect everyone in town with a lot smaller than 1.5 acres. The ordinance was not advertised as anything to do with farming, or produce, but was tacked on under a property ordinance and looked to have more to do with loose and barking dogs, than actual livestock. In the morning, residents started to find out about the new ordinance that was passed by a mere 50 people in a town of 5,000. As the days would roll on, and appeals were filed, new information has come to light and once again, we see government force being used to entrench protectionist policies despite the desires of the local community. As the current situation stands, the next town meeting, June 10, 2019, it looks as if the turbulence will finally be decided. Please feel free to call the town and let them know that this oridinance is not only contradictory to the Food Sovereignty declaration the town made, but is also anti-business, and is unconstitutional that a small handful of individuals can dictate how owners of land can use said land. The town manager, Tom Curtis, and the code enforcer, Susan Hathaway can be reached using the information provided.

This week on Free Markets, Green Earth, Nicky P. and the Liberty Hippie decide to talk about the mountains. They examine the biggest mountain in the world, and talk about the all the death and litter the media is constantly reporting on, before they examine and wonder what it might look like should a private entity purchase the mountain. Of course a discussion of government ownership of land wouldn't be complete without some talk about unintended consequences, and the insulation from damages the government provides itself.

This week on Free Markets, Green Earth, Nicky P. and the Liberty Hippie find themselves entangled in more legislative non-sense from the fine state of New York, and they're not talking about an individuals $500k water bill, or plastic bag bans. This time the two discuss New York's proposed farm bill that has been lingering in Albany for almost fifteen years, but thanks to State government all falling to one side, it's likely that the state of New York will no longer allow individual farm workers to negotiate their own work conditions. The new bill will require farmers to pay workers overtime, introducing a slew of problems for both workers and farm owners. Nicky P. and the Liberty Hippie examined the different sides of the argument, discussed the numerous problems this legislation poses, and of course, examined why this bill won't actually help workers, but will help the State.

The Liberty Hippie was lucky enough to sit down with gardening book author, YouTube livestream exttraordinare, and gardening guru, David the Good. We talked about how David got started gardening, selling plants, and writing books.

Taking a break from examining articles from the all across the internet, Nicky P. and the Liberty Hippie decide to wax philosophical about the naturalness of human beings and their interactions with the environment. What spurred this question into our existence? A facebook post about non-native Tegus in Florida eating chicken eggs and wreaking havoc on the native ecosystem.

It's an interesting free market design on the surface, but the owner also exhibits some prime cronyism suggesting that this method of capture and use will do well because governments have the power to force companies to use aggregate derived from captured CO2.

The Liberty Hippie and Nicky P. get together to discuss three articles making the rounds, two covering the our home state of New York. We open discussing a giant water bill in New York City. Almost too big to be real, before moving on to Elizabeth Warren and some of her proposed legislation in her run up to 2020. We talk about "monopolies" and some of the hypocrisy in her statement. Sick of talking about Warren, we bounce back to New York with their brand new plastic bag ban. We examine how it's being done, and why it's being done - hint, it has nothing to do with the environment.

This week the Liberty Hippie had the chance to talk with Julie Kirchner of Sadie-Girl Farm in Western North Carolina. Julie is enthralled with poultry and has made a thriving little side business selling some pretty fantastic chickens and quails. We talked about what varieties she focuses on - Black and Blue Copper Marans, Lavender Ameraucanas, Olive Eggers, Silkies, and Celedon Quail - and how she came to pick those varieties. We got into some of the details of her set up and how she is able to run so many flocks congruently while maintaining variety purity.

This week the Liberty Hippie sits down with Steve Kemp and discusses a key event in his public education that he still remembers 25 years later, and how it shaped his outlook and the choices he is making as a father concerning education. We also talked about how it was not all bad once he started his homeschooling career. This was another really fun interview talking about homeschooling, child rearing, and life in general. After the interview, the Liberty Hippie looks at the EPA's recent banning of paint strippers that contain methylene chloride. It isn't just the act of prohibition that gets him fired up, but the fact that it is a government agency making laws without going through the proper channels laid out in the constitution.

This week the Liberty Hippie sits down with Tamlynn Clyde of Clyde's Dale Homestead and discusses how her and her husband got started homesteading without really knowing it. We talked about their handful of moves and the mental resiliency that goes into re-planting and re-starting more than once. We also discussed some of the unique and different ways that they have been able to monetize certain aspects of their homestead. Tamlynn also has some years of experience as a homeschooling mom, having graduated one already with a second graduating soon, and a third that just started kindergarten. We talked about how she handles the different age-based needs of her students, as well as how she is able to incorporate the homestead into her homeschool activities and projects.

We talked about his experiences as a homeschooler, what he did for socialization and some advice his father gave him when it came time to picking a career. The Things We Talked About Accepted Bacon, Barbells, and Bibles When the interview wraps up, the Liberty Hippie discusses a couple of free-market green projects. The first is a project from Amazon that is part of their Shipment Zero program meant to help reduce carbon emissions and the second is a project from Gomi that is attempting to take care of some of that non-recyclable low density polyethylene by using it to create bluetooth speakers. Lastly, he has to talk about Georgia HB530, a bill that was introduced in the wake of the Crocker deaths in Effingham County which where discussed in Episode 5.

Episode 2 opened with a discussion of the Homesteader's Co-op, a pretty sweet little website that provides store fronts for homesteaders to sell their wares. In this episode, the Liberty Hippie has the privilege of interviewing Noel, the guy behind the Homesteader's Co-op. We discuss a bit about his present homestead set-up and then get into what the Homesteader's Co-op currently is, and what Noel's vision is for the future of the Homesteader's Co-op. After the interview with Noel, the Liberty Hippie takes a look at some recent news items and state bills from around the country that treat homeschoolers (and even new parents) like criminals forcing them to submit to state sanctioned monitoring and investigations.

A change of format this week as the today's show opens right into the interview with Sherry Voluntary. Sherry if a wonderful podcaster with lots of different shows out there, but she is also a homeschooling mother of two. We talked a little bit about her educational experiences growing up, and how she got to the point of homeschooling, and the eventual unschooling of her younger child. You can find Sherry and her work on any of the links below. Find Sherry Here: little L productions The Sherry Voluntary Show Speaking Freely Postcards from Somalia The Gold Standard with Alan Mosley SportsBall GodArchy After the interview, the Liberty Hippie takes a look at an article from Indianapolis that talks about the shortcomings and overall problems with an incinerator and government involvement with some pretty absurd contracts.

Chatting today with the Liberty Hippie is one Harold Thornbro. Harold has been running the Modern Homesteading podcast for almost four years and has an incredible backlog of content which you can check out at The Small Town Homestead. (He also runs the Modern Homestead facebook group which runs some 21,000 deep!) We talk about how cancer at 39 gave Harold the push he needed to get back to doing things a little more naturally and how his homestead has grown over the past few years to include a wide variety of practices from permaculture to meat rabbits to a new foray into aquaponics. Harold is a wealth of information and it was an honor to get him on the show so early on.

Today, the Liberty Hippie talks to Sounds Like Liberty and Year Round Tree co-host, Lizzie Pecone, about her experience homeschooling and how she and her husband have started to approach homeschooling with their young daughter.

In this episode, the Liberty Hippie starts out by bringing attention to the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive - an organization cloning "champion" trees and planting groves of them in different places throughout the world in an attempt to clean the air, purify water sources, and act as CO2 sinks. This group was brought to our attention when they planted a grove of 75 cloned Coastal Redwoods in the Presidio in San Francisco. While we can't always jive with federally owned land, this is a great example of a free market solution's attempt to cessate climate change. After addressing the AATA, we talk with Elizabeth Melton about her farm and CSA - Sixpence Farm - while discussing what it means to be a CSA farm, and how patronizing a CSA farmer can help in a multitude of different ways.
