Dear Permaculture activists
I believe we should add our design input into such a touted document on 
sustainability: the Earth Charter.  It is an exciting endeavor promoting 
Permaculture design to a global audience with all of you fellow 
practitioners, making positive shifts in the landscape of information.
Thank you for all of your bright ideas and good work!  May permanent peace 
prevail on Earth!
- Marco
