I realize that in my original post it was unclear that I was saying the
student believed that the potential of carbon farming absolved him of the
necessity to limit his own carbon footprint, and not Darren Doherty.  I did
not assume that Darren was promoting this, and I thank him for his graceful
response.  Regardless, I feel Toby's reprimand was excessive, though I do
acknowledge and appreciate his defense of me in the past :)  Nobody should be
thought of as beyond questioning, and I do feel that as a movement we need to
emphasize ethics more.
 
My main point was that there is no cure-all for climate change and that we
each need to take personal responsibility for our carbon footprint,
regardless of the societal limitations we all experience.  I am still amazed
by the number of "permaculturists" who act as if air travel for personal
pleasure (or workshops that could be had at home) is their right.  This is
one luxury that no sustainable culture that I can envision will be able to
maintain.
 
Also my request for a realistic assessment of carbon farming remains
unanswered.  Does anyone have reliable information for the potential of
carbon sequestration on a global level?  I have seen a lot of enthusiastic
promotion, but also a lot of questioning.  Personally, I have put most of my
efforts into limiting my carbon emissions, and don't believe that my tree
planting, mulching, and earthworks are achieving much in my dry climate.
 
Thanks,
 
Rain

Quit buying clothes and shoes from China!*/

Tanning Deer Skins Naturally/**/ --/**/ 9 am/**/ --/**/ 5/**/ pm,/**/
Friday,/**/ April 30/**/ to Sunday,/**/ May 2/**/ --/**/ Southeast of
Austin -/* During this 3-day intensive you will use traditional
home-spun tanning techniques to take a deer hide from the raw state to a
finished, luxurious, soft, strong buckskin. Did you know you can wash
buckskin in the machine just like other clothes? Each participant will
be given their own deer skin to work and take home upon completion. We
will provide all the necessary tools, materials, and guidance. Each day
we will start at 9 am and go until you are complete for that day, ending
typically around 5 pm. We will have on-site, primitive camping with
evening activities for Friday and Saturday nights. Our primary
instructor is Red Louvish. Red is a professional brain tanner living in
the Austin, TX area. Red has been a featured teacher at Rabbitstick and
Wintercount primitive skills gatherings. One feel of a skin that Red
has tanned will convince you of his qualifications. Supple, light, and
strong. Red's works are for sale locally at the Bastrop Producers
Market on Hwy 71 East of Austin. The cost of the workshop is only $325.
Learn a skill that will last a lifetime. Class size will be limited so
we can have a high student to instructor ratio. Register at
_www.backyardfoodproduction.com_ <http://www.backyardfoodproduction.com>.
Alternate rain dates are May 22-24, 2010.
