19. Steve Mushin: Rewilding Rooftops with Chickens & Compost Cannons

Can humanity sign a treaty with chickens to transform urban rooftops into thriving multi-story farms? Join me, Yeshe, as I chat with the incredibly inventive Steve Mushin, author and illustrator of Ultrawild: An audacious plan to rewild every city on earth. In this incredible discussion, Steve talks about his crazy ideas to rewild every city on Earth. From zero carbon technologies to crazy but awesome innovations, Steve's journey is packed with unique projects like the composting cannon and the fantastic Chicken Castle project, where chickens rule the rooftops and serve gourmet sky-delivered omelettes!
Prepare for a mix of ingenious ideas and hilarious moments as we tackle the logistics and challenges of these ambitious projects. Steve shares his insights on transforming every toilet into a compost launcher and the entertaining concept of compostapults—giant catapults inspired by Roman technology to deliver compost to skyscraper farms. Tune in for a fascinating and fun-filled episode that blends visionary environmental solutions with a delightful sense of humour.

Also stay tuned for part two when we come back for another(much longer) chat …
