Permaculture & Sustainable Aid for the 21st Century: How to Change the Paradigm of Emergency Disaster Relief & Development to a Model of Life Affirming Assistance
As the title suggests, it tackles a huge subject. As Americans we have often thought of emergency relief in terms of sending aid to other countries, after Hurricane Katrina we also see a need to know how to respond in a better way to our own natural disasters. Natural disasters, wars, famines, how does the human family respond to each others needs during these overwhelmly stressful times? What new models can we create to assist each other better? Come listen to those who have been doing this work for many years with permaculture as a tool---with not only immediate emergency relief, but longer term recovery and development efforts, and land care strategies that permaculture can provide. Geoff Lawton, Nadia Abu Yahia and Andrew Jones are the key speakers, please see below for bios and more info about the event.
