Peak Moment Interview

Jaydee, Danny and Meghan of SQUAT recently did an interview for Peak Moment Television. Peak Moment is an awesome media project started by Janaia Donaldson and Robin Mallgren that focuses on "Locally Reliant Living for Challenging Times".

It is "an online television series featuring people creating resilient communities for a more sustainable, lower-energy future. Programs range from permaculture farms to electric bikes, ecovillages to car-sharing, emergency preparedness to careers for the coming times. As of May 2010, over 170 half-hour programs are available online.

Peak Moment TV emerged out of our desire to find models among grassroots entrepreneurs working to create a sustainable future. From a start in our small-town Northern California community access TV studio in early 2006, we expanded our scope that summer by visiting over 20 West Coast communities and recording more than 140 half-hour Peak Moment conversations. In 2010 we plan to return to the Pacific Northwest to tape updates and new programs."

Sitting around a campfire in the late-summer woods of the Pacific Northwest, we had a fascinating discussion around birth and the future of our world. We were able to relate concepts from midwifery licensure to health insurance and industrial agriculture, it seems that everyone walked away from the conversation feeling a bit inspired.

Although the conversation filmed with SQUAT may not be online for quite some time, Janaia wrote about it in her blog featured here.
