permaculture

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@gilanet.com>]

Agree 100%. And the dream of making NYC sustainable - the heart of the DCC 
(dominant commercial culture) - is idle fantasy.  I'm not telling people in 
NYC to get out of there; in fact I'm counting on them staying there and 
leaving more room out here for the rest of us. We don't have to discourage 
anyone; simply trying to figure out how to do it will be discouraging enough, 
as we see from the plea for ideas.  If permaculture is turned into a backyard 
hobby I'm outta here. But I believe PC is one good idea that isn't likely to 
get co-opted by the DCC because without real permaculture real quick on a 
massive scale there isn't going to be any commercial culture left.  The oil 
wars have already begun.
