The following is my first draft of a petition to The Mother Earth News (MEN)
for and update to their March/April 1980 story about the methods of Jean
Pain, in his use of forest thicket compost. I had considered using
petitionsonline to compile the signatures but thought that this could be
construed as an adversarial approach to garnering MEN's help. For now I
think that I will just submit the following to the permaculture list, set a
reasonable time limit for response to me, and then printout the responses and
mail them to MEN. Please do not sign the following petition at this time. I
am just looking for input at this time. When we have a final draft I will
re-submit it as "Final Draft of Mother Earth News Petition" and then begin
collecting email signatures. Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Petition to The Mother Earth News for An Update onThe Methods of
Jean Pain

Whereas, widespread knowledge of Jean Pain's forest thicket composting
methods would
help advance rural economies, and

Whereas, this same knowledge would advance the healing of our forests and
the production
of our gardens, and

Whereas, this same knowledge would advance the space heating, cooking, and
water
heating self-reliance of rural economies, and

Whereas, this same knowledge would create beneficial habitat for wildlife
in areas where it
is applied, therefore

Be it aknowledged that the undersigned to hereby request that The Mother
Earth News
publish an update to it's March/April 1980 story about the methods of
Jean Pain. We
do also request special attention to the specifics of his methods for
easy replication by
interested parties, especially as pertains to the ramifications of
dwindling natural gas
supplies.
