SANTA BARBARA PERMACULTURE NETWORK
Presents:
Permaculture in the 21st Century
With David Holmgren

Tuesday, Aug 2, 2005
Evening Lecture 7- 9pm

Santa Barbara City College Campus Center
East Campus (Cafeteria)

In the 21st Century many challenges face us. We live in a world of unprecedented wealth from harvesting enormous storages of fossil fuels created by the earth over billions of years. In a world where this source of energy begins to decline, what innovative ways will we use to design a sustainable future?

On Tuesday, August 2, at 7pm, the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network hosts David Holmgren from Australia in his only Southern California appearance for a talk on Permaculture in the 21st Century, and a booksigning for his recently released book "Permaculture: Principles & Pathways Beyond Sustainability".


Holmgren is a permaculture designer and consultant, whose most recent work has focused on global permaculture strategies addressing the issue of "energy descent", a concept that acknowledges a future of reduced fossil fuels, but plans within a framework of gradual transition and adaptive strategies. In drawing links to permaculture, in future design for homes, cities, and agriculture, lessons learned will need to be applied everywhere, rather than just First World versus Third World type situations.

Permaculture is a design system based on ecological principles for creating sustainable human environments, and is one of the most holistic, integrated systems analysis and design methodologies found in the world. Originally coined from the words PERMAnent agriCULTURE, it has evolved to one of permanent or sustainable culture with consciously designed landscapes that mimic the patterns of nature.

David Holmgren (www.holmgren.com.au) is a designer and consultant, and co-originator of the permaculture concept with Australian biologist Bill Mollison, and co-author of "Permaculture One" (1978), a milestone in the application of environmental design to productive land use. Since 1978 he has authored numerous articles and several books, conducted workshops and courses, and consulted for urban and rural projects in Australia and New Zealand. His most recent book, "Permaculture:Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability", provides a broad conceptual framework for permaculture design education.
The event is a fundraiser for the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network, and takes place at the Santa Barbara City College Campus Center (East Campus), 721 Cliff Drive, on Tuesday, August 2.

The lecture & booksigning, 7-9pm, cost is $15.
