permaculture

[sinergyinaction@netscape.net]

 Well it may well end up like this, and we all have to die sooner or later 
after all, so why bothering about permaculture at all in the first 
place???....Even if we run out of oil, which will probably not happen in 
quite a long time (which is different than peak oil) we'll still have to 
drink water and, especially if like many millions of people, we'll continue 
to live in huge urban centres, this water will be most probably heavily 
polluted. I still have the hope that things can change, and that the very 
same people that is now polluting might decide to switch to new systems 
(hopefully more eco-friendly) Nobody knows the future, but in order to be 
able to propose useful alternatives one has to be as healthy as one can be, 
even in those circumstances you are describing. If we are what we eat and 
drink (among other things) probably having access to an unpolluted and safe 
supply of water can make a huge difference in what you can do both for 
yourself and others.
Even water in a puddle can be solar distilled and probably made safer by 
adding other substances...like some has suggested earlier.

Ciao
Antonio

I have been a lurker here, and can appreciate your concern with  
miniscule parts per million in your water, but what will it matter if  
we are out of oil, the globe warms up, you end up in a drought  
stricken area, food is hard to grow or come by you are happy to drink  
out of a mud puddle?

Just a small reality check...
