That is a non-issue and serves only to distract. If Warren
Buffet
promoted permaculture from within a $20000000 mansion on his
own
tropical isle with a staff of 5000 people, including food
farmers
that would be just fine as long as his message was
consistent with
the high standards of permaculture maintained by any and all
with a
clear view of what it is all about. Overtly using it to sell
something
non-permaculture related would be unacceptable.
?
You're right. I probably could've worded that better, too.
My point was that the message "could" be compromised if
delivered by someone who could not have?made their
wealth?without violating the earthcare, peoplecare, and
fairshare ethics. If Warren Buffet promoted permaculture, I
would support it, but with natural reservations and
concerns.
I am all for getting the message out to the populace (after
all I have taught permaculture in?the public school system),
by any means necessary.
?
I was wondering how to keep the quality of the standards
consistent as more varied methods of
teaching/promoting/selling permaculture are attempted (like
the permaculture-tour telemarketer, for example). I think we
can all agree on that point.
?
Thank you for helping me to clarify my concerns.
