permaculture

[Lawrence London <lfljvenaura@gmail.com>]

I have a reasonably large collection of archives of various PC and Agriculture mailing lists from years ago. I am in the process of downloading them to have copies on my own computer.

I ran across some Fido Net archives from my own bbs:

Those who are from that era will enjoy these posts to my sustainable agriculture echo (forum) SUST_AG which I was able to gate to the alt.sustainable.agriculture Usenet newsgroup, which I formed (started, thanks to UNC computer services).

A Norwegian permaculture guy and I started alt.permaculture. He was associated with the Norwegian Permaculture Society and created the most amazing logo for them.

Greetings
   
I am new to this BBS stuff, so I'll seem like a compu-cluts, but
here it goes. We (me, my wife, sister-in-law, and brother) have
purchased property in Southern Indiana. The idea is to convert
standard agriculture land to organics and move down there
ourselves. Live off the land .... grow our own food etc. kind of a
Helen and Scott Nearing thing.
   
We are moving there within the next few years but are currently
stuck paying for the land and our children are finishing school.
Therefore we have been forced to do something with this land and as
there was a traditional (chemical) farmer already signed up to the
land when we bought it, he has been using it this year.
   
     **** YUK ****
   
If there is someone out there, between Louisville area (37 mi.),
Indianapolis area (110 mi.), Cinn area (90 mi.) etc. who would be
interested in Organic Farming???? We could cut them a good deal
while still making a little money to help make the land payment.
This could benefit both of us.
   
There is 28 acres avail. almost immediately and a total of 90 acres
of tillable land, as well as 90+ acres of woods on the farm.
We are also interested in sustainable living quarters and have
helped build the first straw-bale home in Indiana. We would be
interested in someone possibly building a place to stay on the
property, if interested.
     
                           ?????? Interested ????????

I left this message earlier, but evidently went down with the rest.
I was curious about shredded computer paper as compost on the garden,
are inks O.K. etc.?  If you have any info on this please let me know.
Thanks!

    Well, Ronnie Wright said to All on 23 Jun 94
      about: Animal Protection list(1)....
 

  Dear Friends,
  I am in the process of assembling a national list of Animal
  Rights, Animal Welfare, Farm Reform, and other animal protection
groups
  and would appreciate any input you can provide me.
  If you belong to any of these type groups, either national or
  local, or know of any of these type of groups please fill out and
  return the attached form.
  If you do not know some of the information just leave that part of
  the form blank. I will need at least the Name and address or the
Name
  and phone number of the organization.
  Your response can be posted to the following FIDO message areas:
  ECONET, ECOLOGY, SIERRAN, WILDBRD, WLDLIFE, ANIMALRITE
 
  I would prefer that you send your reply to my Internet address:
  ronniejw@aol.com
 
  I strongly encourage you to crosspost this message to other
  interested forums (Compuserve, Prodigy, etc.).
 
  I hope to have this list completed within the next few months and
  will distribute the list as widely as possible.
 
  Ronnie Wright

  History/Goals:
 
  The American Humane Association was founded in 1877 to prevent

  Past Achievements:
 
  The AHA has established the animal protection division.  This
division
  is a national federation of over 3,600 local and state animal care
  agencies and individuals.  The division undertakes programs to
prevent
  cruelty, neglect, and abuse of animals.
 
  Ongoing Projects:
 
  AHA works to promote quality standards for animal shelters and to
  reduce euthanasia rates in those shelters.  The association
maintains
  education programs for children and adults to show them the
responsible
  way to care for pets.  The motion picture industry is continually
  monitored to ensure that animals are treated properly.  The
AHA/Delta
  Society National Hearing Dog Resource Center coordinates and
  distributes information on the training of unwanted dogs for deaf
and
  hearing- impaired people.
 
  Future Plans:
 
  The American Humane Association lobbies for legislation to
prevent the
  abuse of pets, laboratory animals, zoo animals, farm animals, and
  circus and rodeo animals.  Members receive legislative alerts
informing
  them of animal welfare legislation tracked by the association.
 
  Membership Information:
 
  The AHA educates the public in the humane treatment of animals
and has
  local members of the Animal Protection Division nationwide.
