*On Friday we (Kirstie & Nicholas) had an informal discussion with Professor
Fred 
Freundlich<http://www.mondragon.edu/ezf/albisteak/fred-freundlich-ek-doktore-tesia-irakurri-du?language_sync=1>
 of Mondragon University <http://www.mondragon.edu/> about the history and
state of the worker-cooperative movement, and Mondragon in particular, in
reference to our establishing a global permaculture worker cooperative.*

*We came away from the meeting optimistic that our dreams of developing
sustainability projects in a worker-cooperative framework can be realized.
 The two systems have the potential to be mutually beneficial:  permaculture
can contribute to the environmental sustainability aspects of Mondragon, and
the economic and social sustainability aspects of the Mondragon cooperative
can stabilize permaculture in the world (Gaia Permaculture). A permaculture
worker-cooperative could research, develop and replicate the permaculture
worker cooperative complex and create a truly sustainable future. A Gaia
Permaculture Mondragon Cooperative Complex.*
