Hi, I'm Zac. I was the videographer and media director for the first Permaculture Action Tour, with The Polish Ambassador, that covered over 9,000 miles to 33 cities, 19 states, from San Francisco to New York City.  I have the entire 6 weeks on video with over 40 interviews with permaculture designers, educators, and practitioners that have so much knowledge to share.  On the tour I learned how climate change will effect our food system and discovered practical solutions we all can implement now, from the micro to the macro.  With your support, I will show the world a music tour that inspired me and introduce permaculture to as many as I can.  Get the film now for only $6 and let the message ripple!

The First Permaculture Action Tour

The first Permaculture Action Tour launched from San Francisco in late September and embarked on a 32 city quest to empower fans through community action and permaculture education.  We travelled with musicians The Polish Ambassador, Ayla Nereo, Mr. Lif, and visual designer Liminus encouraging fans from their show to come out the following days to get their hands dirty in an organized permaculture action day.

We visited eco-villages and permaculture project sites, worked with local organizations  and volunteers to transform communities, to spread sustainable and regenerative practices, from building earthships, creating community gardens, planting food forests, to cleaning up public space. These action days engaged thousands of fans across the nation to get involved with projects in their communities and immersed them in a work party focused on building the world so we all can live in it.  

We held a permaculture action day in each of the 32 cities bringing direct community action and education.  With overwhelming support, we held multiple days of action and multiple project sites in several cities.

Now that the first tour is over, it is time for the next step.   The entire tour was documented by Zac Fabian. He has over 3 TB from 32 cities, 6 weeks, with over 40 interviews with permaculture designers, educators, and practictioners in some of the most sophisticated sites in the country. Don Tipping, Biodynamic Farmer & Permaculture Designer from Seven Seeds Farm in Oregon, Jerome Osentowski, Permaculture Educator at the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute in Basalt, Colorado, and many more from over 18 states. He also has exclusive interviews with David Sugalski aka The Polish Ambassador, Ayla Nereo, and Mr. Lif from show and behind the scenes to interviews about the tour and permaculture at the action days. 

We crowdfunded successfully to make a permaculture dream into a reality. Now we want to produce the film of our 9,000 mile journey across the country from San Francisco to New York City, spreading permaculture and community action. We need your help to ensure that the world will see our story of The Polish Ambassador, Ayla Nereo, and Mr.Lif using their voice for social change and inspiring thousands across the nation.

Who Did We Talk To?

The Impact

A story is invaluable. Our story started when an organizer and an artist with a vision came together for a new kind of tour that left positive community action, permaculture, and funky beats in its wake.  With a team of musicians, organizers, and enablers, their story unfolds in 6 weeks across 9,000 miles, to 32 cities in 18 states. In no way were any of us ready for the challenges or the lessons.  It inspired our hearts, broaden our minds, connected us to thousands, and warned of the largest crisis man will ever face. Help us get this film made that shows the success of this model of tour and speaks to a much larger theme of climate change and how permaculture may literally save us.
