Toby,
Since you just wrote a great plug for Rob Hopkins and Transition Towns, I
wonder if you know that Hopkins is on a US tour in October to 8 US cities
including the Bay area.

Subject: [permaculture] Trojan Horses and Permaculture
Rob Hopkins recently said that the Transition Movement is a Trojan horse for
introducing people to permaculture, and this got me thinking: We need more
Trojan horses like that. I've posted a new article on my website about why
Transition is so much easier for many people to grasp than permaculture, and
how we can create more "recipes" like it. It continues my musings on why
permaculture is so hard to define and to understand.
Good one Toby! I've been working on Trojan horses for permaculture myself -
some ideas that I'm delving into these days are
- how to cope with unemployment
- how to use food stamps to buy substitutes for household products that
usually can't be bought with food stamps (detergent, shampoo, etc.)
- how to ditch your soul-sucking job and still survive financially
- how to get the leverage to tell your "overlords" to sod off
- how to get high-quality goods (clothing, furniture, fresh food etc) for
cheap or free by learning to produce your own
- how to make difficult people work for you, in a good way that makes
everyone happy
"When we perceive that the only difference between any of us us is beliefs,
and that beliefs can be created or discreated with ease, the right and wrong
game will wind down, and world peace will ensue."

The U.S. Dept of Transportation is seeking input on their Strategic Plan.
Anyone can contribute until Sept 10th (this coming Tuesday is the
deadline). Please consider integrating your permaculture thoughts as they
relate to transportation, resilience, environmental sustainability, safety,
livability, etc. This is a public document that would benefit with your
point of view!
To comment, all you need to do is 1) create a simple login and 2)
contribute an idea in relation to one of the chapters, or you can
respond/add to another's comment, like these that I added to the
Environmental Sustainability Goal:
