permaculture

[Andrew Millison <amillison@gmail.com>]

Bill Wilson and Wayne Weissman are top notch Permaculture educators. I
think their blending of a site-based with internet based course is
somewhat revolutionary, there's a lot of information people can just
read or watch on their own. Once they have the basic information,
deepening it with 8 intensive and interactive days gives the full
curriculum in my opinion.

I hear what you're saying with this whole conversation on the
semantics of "Certificate" versus "Certification". I had never thought
about it before this discussion arose. I'm going to use "Certificate"
from now on. Thanks for putting this all out there!
