What would happen if you quit showering for a year? While there hasn't been much experimentation on this subject, scientists do still know some consequences of this dirty decision. So let's find out exactly what they are! The good news is that it won't kill you. So, there's that. The bad news is that you definitely won't be a happy camper in the end or along the way. Without proper exfoliation, your skin will quickly become either super oily or really dry. And it doesn't matter which one it's gonna be, both imbalances lead to an overgrowth of yeast and bacteria. According to Dr. Carolyn Jacob, the director of Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, the oiliest parts of your body, such as your armpits, behind your ears, and so on, would slowly collect dirt and pollutants. Let's keep this nasty snowball going. The next major trouble you'll face is that you'd become way more prone to different types of infections. Since washing your hair and scalp come along with showering, then prepare yourself for some major itching on your head. As for a whole year without washing your face in the shower, your face would be covered in zits! And, of course, where there's bacteria and broken skin, there can be infections and health problems, so it's not just all about aesthetics here. There's actually a guy named Rob Greenfield who went a whole year without showering. According to the experts, there are a couple of tips that you should follow in order to shower the right way. Make sure the water temperature is not too hot because hot water will suck the moisture from your skin by removing a lot of your natural oils. Long showers can dry out your skin as well. Having two or three showers a day will do the same thing, so it's not that great of an idea either. Instead of lathering up your entire body, it's better to just stick to the areas with a bunch of sweat glands, such as your armpits, groin, underneath the breasts, and wherever else you tend to sweat a lot.

You'd be scratching your scalp nonstop. -The oily sebum on your face would just keep building up along with bacteria. Your pores would get all clogged up with this nasty gunk, and there you go, you'd have new pimples popping up left and right. -It'll take at least a week for the skin to return to its normal state. -Ron says that it made him reconsider a lot of his life choices and that he came out a much happier person in the end. -Go with lukewarm water. Don't shower for longer than 10 minutes. Avoid over-soaping and use moisturizer after.

Each US resident creates an average of 4.5 to 4.9 pounds of trash per day. For many, once it's in the garbage can, it's out of sight, out of mind. However, what if we lived our daily lives walking around with the waste we created? Not throwing it into a trash or recycling can, but having to carry our waste with us wherever we go. Would this change our perception? For 30 days, Environmental Activist Rob Greenfield [http://robgreenfield.org/] has been doing just that, wearing a suit that holds the waste he creates on a daily basis. He has set out to walk the streets in his suit to bring awareness to the amount of trash people create and inspire others to reduce, reuse, repair, refill, recycle, and of course, let the food scraps rot. His message is also one of rethinking – change the system that has made plastic ubiquitous and also encourages a throw away mentality. Rob has become a social media sensation by undertaking living experiments to inspire people to live sustainably and take personal and collective responsibility in solving environmental challenges. He has documented his bike rides across the US and South America; built and lived for years in tiny houses in San Diego, CA and Orlando, FL; and subsisted for a year growing his own food. Rob Greenfield is an activist and humanitarian dedicated to leading the way to a more sustainable and just world. He embarks on extreme projects to bring attention to important global issues and inspire positive change. In a time when many feel disempowered, he believes that our actions really do matter and that as individuals and communities we have the power to improve the world around us. He is wearing the 30 days of his trash to bring awareness to the amount of waste created on a daily basis.

C'est une initiative qui a fait le tour du monde et qui a valu à son instigateur, l'activiste écologiste Rob Greenfield, de faire la une de nombreux média. En effet, ce dernier a conservé tous ses déchets pendant 30 jours, les transportant avec lui où qu'il aille. Objectif : interpeller sur la quantité toujours croissante d'ordures que nous produisons. Le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est que Rob Greenfield n'est pas passé inaperçu le mois dernier à Los Angeles. Ce dernier transportait en permanence avec lui ses déchets ménagers, et ce même lors de déplacements à l'extérieur. Le dernier jour, Rob portait 45 kilos de déchets accumulés en un mois. Un chiffre qui d'ailleurs correspond à la moyenne par habitant aux Etats-Unis sur la période. Le plus marquant pour ceux qui l'ont croisé a sans doute été de voir la nature des déchets transportés. En effet, dès le début de l'expérience, c'est dans des sacs plastiques transparent que Rob Greenfield stockait ses déchets : barquettes usagées, gobelets, canettes, carton à pizza, gel douche... bref, des objets du quotidien au Etats-Unis, susceptibles de faire réagir tous ceux qu'il croisait. Je cite ses propos recueillis par la chaîne de télévision NBC, « c'est de montrer la quantité de déchets que produit chaque mois un Américain moyen, parce que la plupart du temps on n'y pense pas, on jette et on oublie, sauf que les déchets ne disparaissent pas, ils finissent loin de nos regard dans des décharges, mais aussi dans la forêt ou la mer, ma démarche c'est donc de les montrer pour faire réfléchir » fin de citation. Si 45 kilos de déchets peut paraître impressionnant, ce chiffre n'est pas si loin de ce que l'on connaît en France. En effet, chaque français générerait chaque mois 42 kilos de déchets en moyenne, autrement dit seulement trois kilos de moins qu'un Américain. Mais pour Rob Greenfield, pas question de culpabiliser qui que ce soit. La première solution pour lui, je cite, « c'est de toujours avoir un verre ou un gobelet lavable avec soi, et un sac en toile. C'est simple, gratuit, et à la portée de tout le monde » fin de citation. À travers l'exemple de Rob Greenfield, l'une des mesure les plus efficace pour sauver la planète reste sans doute de changer nos modes de consommation et d'opter pour davantage de sobriété.

Today I take a look at three great resources that I use for tips and tricks on helping me live a more sustainable and eco friendly life. Maybe it might help you. The first is Kailash eco village, when in 2007 Ole and Maitri Ersson bought the rundown Cabana apartment complex in the city and turned the paved parking space into what it is today which is a huge permaculture co-living space and urban food forest. The Kailash Ecovillage has 55 residents who all help farm where there was once pavement, grass, a swimming pool, and an overgrown weed patch. https://www.kailashecovillage.org/ the second is The EcoVillage at Ithaca, which was established in 1991 and has become a mature communal village with three neighbourhoods developed on 10% of the land with 90% of the land devoted to farmland and natural areas. https://ecovillageithaca.org/ And lastly we have Rob Greenfield, who believes that our actions really do matter and that as individuals, and communities we have the power to improve the world around us. Rob donates 100% of his media earnings to grassroots nonprofits and has committed to living simply and responsibly for life. https://www.robgreenfield.org/

For many of us, eating sustainably means remembering to bring our reusable bags to the grocery store. But Rob Greenfield wanted to go further. Much further. The sustainability, equity and justice activist has garnered a huge social media following with self-imposed challenges to raise awareness. Awhile back, he simplified his life down to just 44 possessions. Then there's the time he rode his bike across the U.S. while bathing only in natural water sources like lakes and rivers. In 2019, Rob embarked on what might be considered his most extreme feat yet: an entire year of growing and foraging all of his food in Orlando. No grocery stores, no restaurants, no takeout, no dinners cooked by friends. He says his weight didn't change, and he stayed in good health.Dalia caught up with Rob in Gulfport, just south of St. Petersburg, where he was staying with a friend. We chatted in the backyard over  glasses of homemade kombucha. In this conversation, Rob shares how the yearlong experiment impacted his social life, the kitchen appliance he swears by and advice  for how we can all eat a bit more sustainably. Dalia started by asking Rob why he decided to give up grocery stores and restaurants for an entire year.Related episodes:Why You Should Stop Haggling at Florida's Farmers MarketsAlfresco Dining Tips from “Outdoorsy Diva” Lauren GayYaupon Brothers American Tea CompanyHacks to Help You Eat More VeggiesWhat's the Buzz About Florida Honey Bees?

60. Brad Wade - @onelungedwandererMay 28 Written By Steve O'ShaughnessyBrad Wade is a dad, a substitute teacher an environmentalist, musician and long distance cyclist who lives the punk rock ethos. Brad also has some physiological differences that make him unique; One lung and a heart that decided to reside on the right side of his chest.While Brad was growing up, searching for his sport, he discovered some of the limitations of his condition. When he found that cycling was something that he could do and do well he never looked back.One of his first and longest tours was a ride he did with adventurer, environmental activist, and entrepreneur Rob Greenfield. To bring awareness to food waste, a major problem in our society, this hardcore group of cyclists rode across the united states resupplying on discarded food from grocery stores and restaurants. Along the way, they would work with local garden centres to plant fruit trees and other plants to increase pollination in difficult areas.Brad was struggling to find community in his home town of St. John's, Newfoundland, so he's working on trying to increase awareness to cycling in his region. He and his wife started a weekly coffee outside group in his area to bring cyclists together. He's also part of a critical mass ride that occurs once a month, to motivate more people to ride bikes thereby increasing the need for more bike friendly infrastructure. He is also working on an Everesting project to raise money for the St John's Status of Women Council. Brad has found so much inspiration from women in sport that he wanted to give back.Brad is a good dude.

The L.A. Times called him "Different"; UPROXX described him as "the best kind of crazy"...and Fox TV said he was "the world's foremost dumpster diver!" I'm not quite sure how to describe Rob Greenfield, but here's a start:  If you were religious you might say he's 'doing the lord's work'. If you are an environmentalist, you would likely call him a hero. No matter what kind of a human being you are, after listening to this episode I bet you'll agree that he is a truly inspiring brother with a huge heart, a big mission, and possesses the creative brilliance that can cause actual change. In this episode, I talk to Rob about his life's story, his incredible activism campaigns, and life during the quarantine. Visit his website at www.robgreenfield.org

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast My guest today is the adventurer, activist, and humanitarian Rob Greenfield. Rob joins me to talk about the Food Freedom project he launched in Orlando, Florida, where he is growing and foraging for all of his nutritional needs. Make a One Time Donation Become a Patreon Supporter Visit our Affiliate Partners During the conversation Rob shares what brought him to the project, some of his choices along the way, just how strict he is when he says he grows or forages all his food, and the potential to accomplish these goals, of a 100% self-procured local diet, in other climates. Find out more about Rob, his work and other projects, including those mentioned during his introduction, at RobGreenfield.TV.  In this conversation, I mentioned one of my favorite authors for growing our own food, Steve Solomon, and his book Gardening When it Counts. Because of the influence of that book on my views over the years, I'm giving away a copy over at Patreon.com/permaculturepodcast. That giveaway starts on May 8th and runs through May 18th, 2019, so head over there and leave a comment today to enter. As Rob also encourages us to forage, I'm also giving away a copy of Sam Thayer's The Forager's Harvest. Sam remains one of my favorite foraging authors and educators as his books stem from years of practice and refinement on the land and in the landscape. You'll also find that giveaway at Patreon.com/permaculturepodcast starting on May 18th and open for at least 10 days. Two things continue to resonate for me as I worked on editing this interview, and as I put the finishing touches on the show. The first is the project-based approach that Rob takes in these deep immersions, whether for this particular take on food, or when he wore all the trash he created as part of his bike journey, which you can see in the initial picture at his website RobGreenfield.TV. This project focused exploration is something all of us can use as a model to dive into a subject we're interested in, whatever that may be. We can pick one thing and see what we can learn about it, how far we can go, and the lessons we can pick up in a fixed amount of time. Maybe we want to spend the rainy season for our location learning to harvest water. Or to take a growing season to explore a particular plant from seed to harvest in different conditions in our garden. Or to take a year and see how little electricity or fossil fuels we can use. By creating conditions that test ourselves, we can learn more about our wants, needs, and limits, safely and productively that will, hopefully, lead us to better ways to honor the ethics of permaculture when our time with a given experiment comes to an end. The other side that sticks with me is from near the end where we talked about replicating this project in different climates. Given that humans populated the globe long before the prevalence of agriculture and subsisted through hunting, foraging, and, to borrow the language from M. Kat Anderson, tending the wild, why can't we procure all of our food from our local environment? Yes, if this were a full-time endeavor, as Rob is going through, it may mean we spend a lot more time on growing, gathering and preparing food, but what if we use that as an end goal and work our way back to where we are in the moment? To start by buying from our farmer's markets and co-ops while learning what we can about wild and forageable foods. To take the suggestions of Sara Bir and look for the abandoned fruit trees in our neighborhoods, or ask our neighbors if we can harvest from what they have. Each step brings us closer to a local, nutritious diet. If we find we cannot gain much of our food in this way, why not? What are the legal, environmental, or social factors keeping us from doing so? What can we do to change these limitations, personally and within our community? What are your thoughts on seeking 100% of your own food? Can you imagine doing this in your local environment? What skills or resources would you need to obtain to make these choices? Let me know by leaving a comment in the show notes or dropping a letter in the mail.

Rob Greenfield has put the fun and friendly into environmental activism. Known for his eye-catching and media-worthy campaigns and adventures to wake people up to the destruction we're causing to our planet, Rob brings a positivity and sense of humor and humility to what is too often a dreary scold-fest. Rob was originally on track to live an opulent American dream, complete with nice stuff, fast car, big house, and enough money to do whatever he wanted. A life in which he never had to think about the downstream consequences of his actions, choices, and consumption. Then, somehow, he woke up. It dawned upon him that there was a direct link between his individual choices and the faraway and hypothetical poisoning of our ecosystem. That his convenient, comfortable existence was being underwritten by factory farms, oil spills, and trash heaps that wouldn't decompose for 500 years.

Rob Greenfield wanted to prove people are good, so he packed his bags and flew from San diego, CA to Panama City, Panama with no money or credit cards or cell phone. He made his way back home, across 7 countries and 4,000 miles using only his wits, resourcefulness and the kindness of strangers. Did he make it back in pone piece? listen and find out!
