permaculture

[Linda Ray <lindaray@att.net>]

I don't think you are "in error" at all, Larry. 

I am simply pointing out that there is an additional factor of risk that 
needs to be prioritized IMO, because it could turn your approach into a moot 
point if it is ignored. 

It only takes one person to make a nuclear mistake, whereas your approach 
(Which we *both* prefer, BTW) entails mobilizing many people simultaneously, 
and while much more desirable as a lifestyle and worldview, is also much less 
easily done. 

I think we cannot afford to *ignore* either approach. I think both approaches 
need to be taken, and I mean now.
Namaste,
Linda

I disagree completely. It is an attitude thing, an awareness, an amazing
grasp of the obvious thing. If people were, en masse, truly aware of the
climate change thing, i.e.. anthropogenic climate change and decided that
ehay wanted to try and do something to help and moved forward toward that
goal in concert with a growing number of Earth Citizens, then conspicuous
consumption, waste, pollution, would be obvious to them as problems that
they themselves could help solve. Demand for goods would so diminish that
the corporate world would fall back, regroup and come to the realization
that there is no future in marketing very many products because people are
becoming self sufficient and independent, recycling, pproducing their own
goods, growing their own foods and keeping their money in their own local
economies. This massive change in the public mindset would result in nation
states reconsidering their war posturing threadening and mexican standoffs.
They would realize that they will have to change if they hope to survive.
Since all the wars are over ownership of non renewable resources, soil and
water, a new mandate to find a better way, adequately profitable for them,
would take root.

If I am in error with this thinking tell me why you think so.

 Bill Mollison is dead. Long live Bill Mollison! I just received word
that Bill Mollison died today. Bill=E2=80=99s body may be dead but his spir=
it
lives on in the (by now) vast permaculture movement that he left
behind.   Bill was a friend from the first time we met in 1982, when he
guest taught at the first permaculture design course I took (led by
Andrew Jeeves).  In 1986 I helped arrange (and took) Mollison=E2=80=99s fir=
st
Dryland Permaculture Design Course (in the upper Kittitas valley in
eastern Washington).  Bill was in his prime then. A very charismatic
person, brilliant thinker and one of the top people on how to live
sustainably in the dryer parts of the globe.  Not everyone liked Bill.
He liked to stir the pot, particularly with feminists, vegetarians and
western liberals and he became more of a curmudgeon in his latter years.
In his heyday, Bill traveled the world widely teaching permaculture
wherever he went. His brilliance and charisma are the reason that
permaculture became the global movement it is today.  Of course Bill was
just the spark that ignited the larger fire that is composed of the tens
of thousands of permaculture teachers and groups that exist today.  We
must also give great credit to David Holmgren for the big role he
continues to play in permaculture.  One last kudo to Bill is that he was
a big hit with indigenous people wherever he went. His humor, openness,
iconoclastic attitude and opposition to the powers-that-be gave him a
place in their hearts.  Not everyone may miss Bill Mollison, but manyof
us will.   Michael Pilarski, September 25, 2016.

 Bruce Charles 'Bill' Mollison 1928-2016

Graham Bell
Sunday, 25th September 2016
Graham Bell's moving tribute to Bill Mollison, who died today, a true
pioneer who gave up a promising academic career to challenge the status
quo and establish the global Permaculture movement.
Bruce Charles 'Bill' Mollison (born 1928 in Stanley, Tasmania, Australia
and died today, 24 September 2016 in Sisters Beach, Tasmania).

A few people are born who are world class heroes to those who know them
and unkown to the great majority, until one day their inescapable
influence floats to the surface and is generally recognised for the
cream it is. In hindsight such leaders go on to become household names.

Such a man was Bill Mollison: backwoodsman, academic, storyteller,
lady=E2=80=99s man and to many just =E2=80=98Uncle Bill=E2=80=99, but doing=
 all these things par
excellence. In consequence he has left a worldwide movement of
remarkable resilience. He has left much useful information and not a few
words of guidance and encouragement for those who will miss him most.

Growing up in Stanley, Tasmania, he left school at fifteen to help run
the family bakery and before 26 went through the occupations of shark
fisherman and seaman (bringing vessels from post-war disposals to
southern ports), forester, mill-worker, trapper, snarer, tractor driver
and naturalist.
His lack of formal education gave him many learning opportunities in how
the real world works.
Bill joined the CSIRO (Wildlife Survey Section) in 1954 and gained
extensive research knowledge. His time in the Tasmanian rainforests gave
him the founding structure for what became his life=E2=80=99s passion -
Permaculture. The idea that we could consciously design sustainable
systems which enabled human beings to live within their means and for
all wild life to flourish with us.
A spell at the Tasmanian Museum in curatorial duties, a return to field
work with the Inland Fisheries Commission took him back to college in
1966 living on his wits running cattle, security bouncing at dances,
shark fishing, and teaching part-time at an exclusive girls' school.
Upon receiving his degree in bio-geography, he was appointed to the
University of Tasmania where he later developed the unit of
Environmental Psychology. During his university period (which lasted for
10 years), Bill independently researched and published a three-volume
treatise on the history and genealogies of the descendants of the
Tasmanian aborigines.
In 1974, with David Holmgren, Bill developed the beginning of the
permaculture concept, leading to the publication of Permaculture One. He
became fixated on proving and promulgating what he saw as a world
renewing concept. Leaving the University in 1978, abandoning a secure
academic tenure at the age of fifty (an unheard of move) Bill devoted
all his energies to furthering the system of permaculture and spreading
the idea and principles worldwide. He has taught thousands of students,
and has contributed many articles, curricula, reports, and
recommendations for farm projects, urban clusters and local government
bodies.

In 1981, Bill Mollison received the Right Livelihood Award (sometimes
called the "Alternative Nobel Prize") for his work in environmental
design. In recent years, he has established a 'Trust in Aid' fund to
enable permaculture teachers to reach groups in need, particularly in
the poorer parts of the world, with the aim of leaving a core of
teachers locally to continue appropriate educational work.

We are helped in remembering Bill by his 1996 autobiography Travels in
Dreams. Typically he laughs at himself: =E2=80=9CThis book is a work of fic=
tion:
most if not all of it is lies. Even the lies are imprecise reports of
old lies overheard.=E2=80=9D He wasn=E2=80=99t universally liked. One ason =
being he was
committed to disrupt the status quo of misguided unfeeling management.
=E2=80=9CFirst feel fear, then get angry. Then go with your life into the
fight.=E2=80=9D He was eloquent about the need for peaceful =E2=80=98warrio=
rs=E2=80=99 as he
called them to challenge the stupidity of ill-governance on a global
scale. His own fears about being ineffectual were misguided: =E2=80=9CNobod=
y
takes any notice of me and even my friends continually criticise me.=E2=80=
=9D In
reality he engendered a massive global respect which will endure and
grow as others develop his foundation thinking.
The pinnacle of his career to his students was the publication in 1988
of The Permaculture Designers Manual, honoured to this day by devotees
as 'The Bible of Permaculture'. If devotees suggests falsely some
religious connotation it=E2=80=99s really that Bill pioneered a deep respec=
t for
the planet and for more sensible approaches for how we could live on it:
=E2=80=9CWe are true time scouts finding places now for what will be needed=
 then.=E2=80=9D
Bill asked: =E2=80=9CAre we the public or the private person?=E2=80=9D The =
truth of the
matter is that for all seasons we are both. Perceived as challenging, a
huge harvester of great ideas from around the world (and not always
crediting their sources) Bill was also a sensitive man, eloquent
raconteur, poet and appreciative of the poetry of others. He knew how to
provoke others to action, but also when to withdraw and let others carry
on the work. He paraphrased Lao Tzu: =E2=80=9CTrue change is to so change t=
hings
that it seems natural to everybody but no-one knows who thought of it.=E2=
=80=9D
And: =E2=80=9COur best will not be our children=E2=80=99s best.=E2=80=9D
Though often outwardly gruff and challenging there was real heart to
everything he did.

Bill Mollison founded the first and original Permaculture Institute,
which was established in 1979 to teach the practical design of
sustainable soil, water, plant, and legal and economic systems to
students worldwide. Bill=E2=80=99s legacy is that hundreds of thousands of =
past
students have created a world-wide network to take his concept forward.
This is a world in which we are acutely aware of our environment, its
capacity and its limitations, and we design systems to meet human needs
which respect that.

Bill spent his final years in Sisters Beach, Tasmania. The final words
must go to him in true classical tone:
=E2=80=9CIf you hear that I am dead tell them they lie.=E2=80=9C

Graham Bell is the author of The Permacultiure Way and The Permaculture
Garden <http://www.green-shopping.co. uk/books/pp/graham-bell.html> and
has been teaching permaculture internationally for over two and a half
decades. He has one of the oldest forest gardens in the Borders of Scotland=
