Whats a prius?

BTW, I wasn't trying to be judgemental, just raising a point...

Yeah good point Graham but maybe it's like Bill says about using heavy machinery - it is worth it if you will end up creating more energy than you use although how you'd quantify that I have no idea.... I'm getting a Prius - does that count ? :-)

IPC 8 Invitation letter

Boa Vista do Ramos, Amazonas, Brazil
September 8th 2005

To the many members of the world Permaculture community

I would like to honor and thank the members of both the Danish and
Croatian Permaculture Associations and the larger European
Permaculture community that made IPC 7 such a wonderful gathering. In
particular I would like to salute the venerable Tony Anderson whose
strength of purpose and generalship reincarnated the IPC event after
so many years of dormancy.

The traditional rotation between continents has positioned South
America as next in line for hosting IPC 8. During plenary vote in
Croatia in June 2005, Brazil was officially selected as its next
venue. The event, as decided, will be held in May of 2007.

As the international project coordinator for Permacultura America
Latina (PAL), which is the coordinating body for the Rede
Permacultura do Brazil (RPB), I will be assuming the role of IPC 8
coordinator. Permit me to confirm that this event will be held as
stated and I look to your help and experience for guidance.

During the last two months, and aside from the standard Convergence
program, various themes for the Conference have been bandied around
and one that has been consistently responded to has been the issue of
Green Economics. With the condition of the world monetary system
increasingly uncertain the opportunity to devote several days to the
full array of topics represented by this theme, has, arguably,
arisen. In short, we have before us the opportunity to hoist the
banner of Permaculture on an International Economics Conference.

Green Economics also represents an opportunity to engage the Latin
American private sector, particularly in light of so much of the
planet’s remaining natural resources concentrated on this continent.
With so many sustainable development plans already being assembled to
plunder these irreplaceable resources, it hardly needs explaining the
urgency to clarify green economic misconceptions and clarify
inevitable possibilities. After all, at present, the bankers have
most of us by the balls.

Australian permaculturists have offered to set up an IPC website as
the technological mechanism for communications. The US Credit Union
has offered its service and even possible funding. Previous IPC event
organizers have likewise confirmed promises to provide whatever
information and assistance may be available.

For my part I am poised to begin the proposal and fundraising process
and other foundations have offered to participate. Specifically the
Swiss based Avina Foundation has offered to convene a pre conference
gathering in early 2006 to articulate the final Conference agenda.

Thus my friends I leave it to you to provide some feedback as soon as
possible to justify both my personal and institutional resolve and
reach that point of no return.

I remain, as always, moist and tropically yours
