I agree with Scott P.

Our biggest challenges ahead will not be in designing, building and maintaining holistic physical systems to supply our needs on a bioregional basis, although there is much to be done. We basically know how to do it, at least in areas where all historical knowledge is not erased and people have access to education.

Our biggest challenge is to shift the cultural paradigm to make working toward bioregional self reliance an acceptable, worthwhile, and rewarding pursuit for generations to come. The visible and invisible are inseparable. In my mind, to begin to compartmentalize defeats the beauty of permaculture.

I hope everyone will hang in there and be tolerant of the rants and opinions of others or simply ignore and follow the threads that resonate with your path.

In peace and solidarity,

Scott

P.S. We are all completely distracted around here with trying to keep a huge casino from being built in our community before it sucks the life out of it. If anyone has any experience, please pass it along. It seems like Pc is sometimes fighting against colossal class one errors.

How about this. A new forum: permaculture, ethics & politics or
pep@lists.ibiblio.org
Anyone interested?

Scott replies:

The problem is that ethics are at the core of permaculture design. You
can't have permaculture without the ethics. It is what sets permaculture
apart from all other design and methodologies; it requires that we question
every action in the environment including our interaction with people.

So I wouldn't be for separating the forums into one that only discusses
methodology (visible structures) and one that discusses the invisible
(social, legal, and financial). Permaculture is a "whole system" approach
to design and teaching and can't be divided into compartments', or
specialties.

My thoughts,
