Thanks Toby,
No insult was felt from Rain's post: I am indeed glad that he voiced the
opinion that he did such that I could respond and that you could too
Toby....
Look from my perspective its a clear issue that we all have to take on in
every activity: the Permaculture Ethics provide this blueprint and for me I
take them very seriously...the Holistic Management Decision Making framework
only aids this process in determining for me (and many others) the way to
ensuring that they decisions we make around things like air travel, burning
brush, felling this tree or that, using cement, flail mowing, sowing or
grazing etc etc. effect positively the Primary Client (Gaia), its
inhabitants and their financial situations.
Of course I have been charged with being Carbon Negative (my preference of
semantry!) many times and I have done the math many times to prove that I
and my family emit far, far less carbon than we sequester: especially in
soil carbon but also in vegetation stores (of millions of trees actually -
about 2.5million or so at last count)....what concerns me is how much Carbon
send out of the mouths without returning it to the lithosphere (Carbon
positivity!) and that is the ultimate challenge to all of us in every
activity: that's being a conscious being in this day and age....
So moving on from the adversarial to the action-based process I commend to
all to get moving on working in whatever way you can from the policy level
through to the land on getting ourselves and Gaia back into some kind of
order: its the least we can all do to reply to our wholesale insult to
her....
All the best,
Darren
