That is not an answer. if you use energy and it l;eaves the system you 
have a deficit or an imbalance in the system, so some form of 
compensation or exchange needs to happen.

Permaculture design is another way of seeing things. it provides the 
techologies and methodologies by which a sustainable society arises. i 
do not find this a difficult conecpt to see, perhaps because I am a 
certified permaculture designer and paid for the course thus engaing in 
an exchange with my teacher. What problem do you have with exhnage or 
pit another way fair trade?



> And about compensation for author


I am not talking about copyright or copyleft. What happens is the authour 
expends energy to create the book. the publishers expends energy publishing 
and ditributing tthe book so that libraies, scools and so on can access the 
inforamtion that is in the book. What compensates for the energy that is 
expended.For without the compensation you have an imbalance from which 
problems arise.


I offffer free garden talks in the community garden for which I am the 
volunteer coordiantor. I also charge for my services, If you can convince the 
people holding the mortage on my prpoerty to accept carrots or beansinstead 
of money,  go for it.




Another point, you avoided the orignial question, if you are unable to answer 
say so, I will add another point, if their is no compensation how do the 
books get produced and delivered to the library. i am setting these questions 
in the context of the world we actually live in, not some theoretical 
construct. If you do not know how things work you can not make sustainable 
changes.

greetings, who researches, writes, publishes and
distributes  the books 
in the library and how are they compensated for
their time?
