A message for Earth-friendly folks, The Ecosystem Restoration Camps are having a membership drive and I (Michael Pilarski) would like to put in a good word for them.
I recently watched this documentary, 'Awake, A Dream from Standing Rock,' in Port Angeles, WA with about 50 people at the Lower Elwha Klallam tribal center. It was very powerful. I went with my friend Terry D. who spent 100 days at Standing Rock. This should be on mainstream television, but of course it won't be. America, wake up!
Here is a youtube of a guy in Brazil that has come up with something he calls Syntropic Agriculture. Very much along the lines of permaculture and analog forestry. Great example of a large-scale system (1200 acres). Ecologically and economically looks good. Some of it is pretty straight-lined but some looks wilder. "Life in Syntropy" is the new short film from Agenda Gotsch made specially to be presented at COP21 - Paris. This film put together some of the most remarkable experiences in Syntropic Agriculture, with brand new images and interviews.
