permaculture

[Udan Farm <udanfarm@yahoo.com>]

I got an email from the organizer of this course-they are extending the Early 
Bird Discount!
She said "We are extending the Early Bird special and we may consider price 
cuts or payments, etc, to get people there though the costs are higher for 
this course than most because we are funding some Lakota coming, etc. This is 
going to be a kick off of a "sustainability/resilience school" on the rez, so 
is very historically important. Pine Ridge could become a center for 
sustainability, if things go as we want them to, which would be very, very 
appropriate. There are so many exciting things attached to this course, I 
really want to make it happen and have it be very successful."

Water Woman Art Challenge: As a group of eco-artists it is our goal to set 
new standards in sustainable art forms which that provide energy, food, 
shelter, and water systems. By coming together as community, artists, 
permaculturalists, performers, musicians, natural builders, and motivated 
students, our structured plan is to go beyond our society's definition of 
sustainability so we can be self reliant and educate others back home.

Commerce, Desert Springs Chamber of Commerce, Natural Science Collaborative, 
Boulder Community Gardens, and more!

By DICKSON D. DESPOMMIER
IF climate change and population growth progress at their
current pace, in roughly 50 years farming as we know it will
no longer exist. This means that the majority of people
could soon be without enough food or water. But there is a
solution that is surprisingly within reach: Move most
farming into cities, and grow crops in tall, specially
constructed buildings. It’s called vertical farming.
