Hawaiian
permaculturist Anrea Brower created this petition about how the Trans-Pacific
Partnership (TPP) Free Trade Agreement will hurt farmers and local food
systems. Andrea says "I think we really need to start bringing
together the activism 'on the ground / in the soil' and that in the
realm of trying to create the economic and political conditions in
which permaculture can flourish!"
Make a difference: Sign the petition. Stop the TPP! Stop the
corporate free trade agenda! Food and the right to produce food are
human rights!
HELP NEEDED AT MICHAEL
PILARSKI’S FARM
I have just returned home from teaching a very
successful permaculture design course in Dayton, Montana. This
took me away from the farm for three weeks and as a result I am really
behind on the growing season and could use some help to get back on
track.
Anyone have time to come out to Tonasket and give me a hand?
A weekend… a week… short term or long term job…??
In the next month we will be planting thousands of plants –
trees, shrubs, berries, herbs and vegetables. Lots to do and lots
to learn.
Give me a call if interested.
