Our mission
Our mission is to educate and empower others to live in a more sustainable way. Our team has developed a wealth of knowledge in the fields of ecological housing, self sufficiency living, and permaculture. We have developed this site as a platform to share, inspire and learn.
Robert Parson
Robert Parson created Regenerative Revolution out of the need to organize these amazing builders and sustainable designers.
After years of studying sustainable design, Robert attended the Earthship Biotecture Academy in Taos NM, under the guidance of Michael Reynolds. Immediately after completing the academy, Robert resigned from his job, working in corporate insurance sales of 10yrs to dedicate his life to helping others escape the insanity that is in the current housing/mortgage paradigm. With the mission of bringing affordable and sustainable housing to as many people as he could, Robert began building. Robert’s designs integrate the best aspects of every type of sustainable construction, such as Earthship, Earth bag, Straw bale and Tiny Houses; allowing more design options based upon climate, budget, and local materials. Robert also received his Permaculture Design Certificate under the tutelage of Geoff Lawton. Robert’s background in permaculture has helped him to realize that a home is not just a static object; it needs to interact with the natural elements and work in harmony with it's surrounding landscape.

“I believe that our cities, our homes, and our species should be involved with the natural systems, cycles, and patterns that bless us on this planet... and through this we will embark on a path that is both regenerative and restorative... thus honoring generations to come”
