Permaculturists, of course, plant for positive reasons; especially to connect with soil, nature, and the food we eat. But we also plant for negative reasons: to combat what our PDC instructor Mark Cohen calls “The Beast”, ravenous consumerism run…

Yeah, I had a bit-o-trouble so I gave up last night before I went searching for the Jean Pain video that was aired (sort of) during the break. Since I took a break, I don't know which one it was, but YouTube seems to be rife with video about this gu…

- Hi Tom, Thanks for all. For whatever reason I can't seem to find the sign-up sheet you mentioned. I would like to go, and car-pool on Saturday, but maybe am not so game if the weather's bad. I will sign up tho, if you can help with the 'where'.

- Tom,
A big maybe. Two weeks ago I went to the Penn. Assoc. for Sust. Agr. meeting to hear Mike Reynolds of Earthship fame (see his outstanding website earthship.net ). While there I took in a workshop by Dave Jacke, who wrote Edible Forest Gardens. Very high powered. I have the multi page handout from the workshop, chock full of valuable info. I have not figured out how to post it on this website. Any ideas? I can email it to you as a pdf, also, if you want it, but I don't have your email address.

- Hi, Tom. I caught the flu so am not going to SF. Here is the video that drew me to permaculture. I could not figure out how to post it on the site. Maybe you will enjoy watching it and figuring out what to do with it.

- Hey Tom - I'm really glad that you're in the course, I think you bring an important dynamic and energy. I look forward to acquainting myself more with your projects and learning more about your background in PR and journalism (or was it marketing?)
Best,
