permaculture

["wenshidi@yahoo.co.uk" <wenshidi@yahoo.co.uk>]

In order to bring down the cost of PDC courses to more affordable levels, has 
anybody tried involving permaculture related industry representatives as 
sponsors?

I was thinking about having reps of the large excavator companies to 
introduce all the various kinds of earthworks equipment, in the same way that 
Bill Mollison does in the PDC manual.   Or perhaps a rep from one of the big 
geospatial companies to do a session on dumpies, laser levels and surveying 
tools.

Are there any other big industries out there that might want to promote their 
equipment or products to permaculture designers?
