permaculture

[paul wheaton <paul@richsoil.com>]

This is my 130th video.  And possibly the most important.  It will
make no sense to 99% of the population, so the audience I hope it will
reach is teeny tiny.  The people that advocate planting natives only.

As I travel, give presentations, visit with people, even in my own
forums, I encounter these people that are extremely passionate about
natives only.  they are very angry at me for advocating anything other
than natives only.  I have tried to express something that I think
will help them understand (and tolerate?) my position, but it would
seem that I have always failed.

What I have left out of my persuasions (and is not in this video) is
that there is lot of money being spent in the world of natives only.
Billions.   Guess who is making billions on this?   ....   ....
herbicide companies.  Specifically monsanto.

In this video Toby Hemenway makes the point clear in a way I have
never been able to.   He actually makes several excellent points in an
exceptionally diplomatic way.

Please, please, please.  Pretty please with sugar on top:   pass this
on.  There are people out there that are as passionate about healing
the earth as we are, and I would very much like to see them work with
us rather than against us.
