>From Scott Pittman:

"To my mind this is Bill Mollison at his best!! This was filmed at a course
that Bill and I taught at Fossil Rim in north central Texas. This is also
the course where many of the best teachers of pc gained their inspiration!!
Enjoy!!"

What is Permaculture? <http://www.networkearth.org/perma/defined.html#what>

Who is Bill Mollison?
<http://www.networkearth.org/perma/defined.html#Mollison>

These videos are documents from two design courses taught by Bill Mollison
at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose Texas in 1994 and 1995. They
are a definitive selection from our original 16 part series. These tapes
bear many viewings and will benefit anyone who wants to learn how to help
regenerate the earth - from back yard to bio-region. Teachers of
permaculture have found these tapes to be a valuable coaching tool - edited
to one hour.

Efficiency of energy, resources, and time, and the creation of highly
productive systems are the results of good Permaculture design. The methods
are obvious once we have become co-creative with the forces of nature.

What is cultura promiscua? To maintain functional bio-diversity is a basic
tenet of Permaculture. Severely degraded land can be easily restored to
highly productive land by using good observation techniques, plants and
animals in succession, and common sense.

As desert is rapidly claiming vast areas of our planet, millions are on the
verge of starvation. Yet, crops which occur naturally in arid land can
provide all necessary nutrition for people and animals. The strategies
discussed arise from years of observation in the deserts of Australia and
from the peoples of Kalahari.

*Straw Bale Construction*
Straw bale construction is gaining worldwide recognition as a viable,
high-performance, earth- and people-friendly building technique which
utilizes a natural by-product of food production. *The Straw Bale Solution*
is 30-minute video introduction to straw bale building. It offers viewers
an excellent look at $1.50 a square foot straw-bale homes in Mexico and the
custom high-end straw-bale mansions of Santa Fe... How and why they are
built, why they make so much sense and cents, and how to get started are
all covered."

*The Straw Bale Solution (#C 01)*
Building with bales can produce ecological, empowering and affordable
housing, and NetWorks' award-winning video provides an entertaining
overview of how and why. Narrated by Athena and Bill Steen, co-authors of *The
Straw Bale House* book, T*he Straw Bale Solution* features interviews with
architects, engineers, owner-builders and leading straw-bale advocates. See
how-to-build, learn about weather and code implications, and experience the
barn-raising, community-building aspects of straw-bale homes. Then follow
the Steens south of the border as they work with Save The Children in
Sonora, Mexico, empowering local townspeople to create comfortable homes
from straw bales - an abundant agricultural "waste product" of the region.
Educators and innovators, Bill and Athena Steen push the boundaries of
vernacular architecture and reveal how the world-wide housing shortage
could have a *Straw Bale Solution*. Made possible by the Katherine and Lee
Chilcote Foundation and The Lifebridge Foundation. *30 minutes.*

*The Last Straw*
*The Last Straw*, the quarterly journal of straw-bale and natural building,
began in 1992 with Judy Knox and Matts Myhrman of Out On Bale (un)Ltd at
the publishing helm. Five years later, with *The Last Straw*
well-established and recognized as *the* resource for up-to-date and
pertinent straw-bale construction information, Judy and Matts felt the need
to begin focusing on other important projects which had to be put on hold
when interest in straw-bale construction skyrocketed. They began the search
for a responsible, committed team who would continue the tradition of high
quality outreach and reporting they had established, and in 1998 they chose
NetWorks Productions to be their production and publishing successors.

In 2003, TLS was transfered to, and is now published by the Green Prairie
Foundation for Sustainability in Lincoln, Nebraska. For a current
