Hello,
I would like to let you know about some upcoming events which address issues of sustainability. Toby Hemenway, author of the best selling Gaia's Garden- A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture is coming to town. He is an articulate speaker on ecological design and permaculture. Permaculture is the use of ecology as the basis for designing integrated systems of food production, housing, appropriate technology, and community development. It is built upon an ethic of caring for the earth and interacting with the environment in mutually beneficial ways. With the many environmental concerns we face permaculture is timely and has some useful and fascinating insights into how we can think and design anything from our houses and backyards to our neighborhoods, businesses and cities. It began in the 1970s, originally being applied to the 20 acre homestead, but more and more the ideals, ideas and methods of permaculture can and are being applied to the urban and suburban ecologies. He offers both vision and practical solutions in his lectures and workshops. It would be wonderful if you could list the events below on your event calendar. Also, if you know of any other organizations or people who you think would be interested please pass this on.
Thank you,
Faith Van De Putte
