permaculture

[Tripp Tibbetts <slowfoodguy@yahoo.com>]

Just want to say very quickly that one of the best things to come of this 
lengthy discussion on the need for a formal PDC, and the potential existence 
of spiritual connection to the universe, was my introduction to Bob Waldrop.
 
Bob is an extraordinary person doing extraordinary things in Oklahoma City.  
We've chatted a few times off-line since I was unusually flippant about a 
post he made to the thread.  I find it easy to open an email, see the black 
and white shapes arranged in everyday English syntax, disembodied from every 
amazing story behind every amazing human comprising the unique cast of 
characters on this list.  And in so doing, take the chance of offending and 
belittling people who have enriched the world around them in incalculable 
ways.  Bob makes me want to slow down and imagine an epic journey of 
discovery behind each name before I speak.
 
In Oklahoma City, Bob Waldrop's generous shadow must truly fall in all 
directions.

Bob's new friend,
Tripp

I agree with Dieter on the folly of generalizing too much about Mediterranean 
climates (or practically anything else).  As far as fertility goes, arid 
climates can have very fertile soils because their minerals don't get leached 
out as much.  Coastal California and Australia generally have infertile soils 
because they are so old, and have been leached for millions of years.  Chile, 
interior California, and the Mediterranean have a lot of recent volcanic 
activity (at least in some areas), and therefore have more fertile soils.  I 
don't know much about South Africa.
 
One thing that has barely been touched upon is how nutrient cycling varies 
from more humid temperate climates.  In the Summer, nitrogen from animal 
manures, mulches, and compost just returns to the air if there is not 
sufficient irrigation.  This means that we need to think differently about 
how to manage these things in Mediterranean climates.

Reclaim Power! is a confrontational mass action of non-violent civil
disobedience.

[image: copenhagen smokestack sunset]

We will overcome any physical barriers that stand in our way – but we will
not respond with violence if the police try to escalate the situation, nor
create unsafe situations; we will be there to make our voices heard!

The Peoples Assembly, in opposition to the false solutions being negotiated
at the Climate Summits, will highlight alternatives that provide real and
just solutions: leaving fossil fuels in the ground; reasserting peoples’ and
community control over resources; relocalising food production; massively
reducing overconsumption, particularly in the North; recognising the
ecological and climate debt owed to the peoples of the South and making
reparations; and respecting indigenous and forest peoples’ rights.

After 15 years of negotiations and no real solutions to the climate crisis,
we say enough! No more markets based solutions, no to corporate greed and
short term politics deciding our future! No to colonialism and the
land-grabs taking place in local and indigenous communities!

In December, we, from our many different backgrounds and movements,
experiences and struggles, will come together. We are indigenous peoples and
farmers, workers and environmentalists, feminists and anticapitalists.

Now, our diverse struggles for social and ecological justice are finding
common ground in the struggle for climate justice, and in our desire to
reclaim power over our own future.
