He challenges the belief that "green tech" can enable global "sustainable consumption," asserting that diminishing oil reserves will inevitably lead to a mandatory "energy descent" for human civilization.

Holmgren advocates for permaculture principles as the most effective framework for a peaceful societal "powering down."

On June 24, 2018, an interfaith gathering for Immigrant Justice protested President Trump's "Zero Tolerance" policy at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Oregon. Participants prayed, sang, and read scripture, opposing the internment of 123 refugees and the separation of parents from their children.

Despite officials portraying objectors as "radicals," diverse Portlanders united, led by love, to condemn the policy as immoral and support detainees. Freedom for Immigrants (https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/) offers data on detention, highlighting it as a major industry. This event was filmed by Ruth Ann Barrett.
