permaculture

["Frances and David" <fdnokes@hotmail.com>]

or....
if the people that are big on advertising could hook up with the people that 
have the authentic offering?
just a thought on the parts we play and how they might better fit 
together...
not suggesting a 'fix'
just making an observation about the not doing everything yourself/ finding 
the right role for the right person approach to life.
so, please take this comment in the strictly abstract (chuckle) spirit it 
was intended!

Never heard of this person but did see a promotion for her work at
permies.com. Maybe Paul Wheaton can comment further as to the legitimacy of
her work.

Private Nature Reserve in Slovakia at the following site:

It would be unfortunate for money to go to hyped-up nonproductive projects
when it could go to so many worthwhile ones needing and seeking funding or
thinking about pursuing that route for financial survival.
