hi Lawrence
I am really interested in this permaculture.coop idea... I totally agree it
needs to happen... it will be a struggle, but there is an opening...
my guess is the 'Green New Deal' will be basically a tax-payer funded
bail-out for corporates wanting to upgrade into clean-tech, this includes
agribusiness corporations
I registered the domain permaculture.coop
have started a social networking site
http://permaculturecoop.ning.com/
and would be really interested in making this a major theme of 2009 for
permaculture.tv

socialism is a scare word... what you are talking about is a relatively free
market, with relatively free enterprise... sounds pretty conservative to me
what we are talking about is democracy of the economy
can CoopAmerica.org help ? or someone connected in the cooperative scene in
the big cities ?
register on that Ning site and lets try to get started

This Is the Moment for Popular Permaculture
*Updated and Adapted from the Moot*:
Dan Coyote agrees with me that Obama seems determined and in fact poised to
re-orient the public discourse of the American center back to the
center-left where it actually belongs given the expressed attitudes of
majorities. But he doubts, sensibly enough -- however unexpected and truly
good all this is -- whether it can be even remotely good enough, and so
wonders as well whether those of us who are on the left of that center-left
(especially those of us who advocate permaculture politics) need to push
that center-left far more leftward still, given the scope and scale of
ongoing injustice and upcoming climate catastrophe.
