open letter to all perma-culturists who realy care - back 2 grass roots
"Pinky" wrote in message
... Maybe you need to approach this problem from a permaculture perspective, ie: there's not an influx of money grubbing, selling it crap, there's simply a lack of simple-get-started-now info and use your web site to get the word out there? Thats a good way to look at it, if we think about it, those of us who are using pc techniques daily dont think to take pics and notes to pass on ..we just get on with it. I personally think there is room for the teachers and if there's a market for a weekend crash course into pc then why wouldnt people who are able to teach it offer that service ? I understand what Len meant though, it could be very daunting for newcommers if they think that to be able to use permaculture means you have to be taught by someone who has a diploma in pc design, and if you search for pc on the net thats what comes across. We (this newsgroup) should be here as a resource for people who want simple and down to earth banter/advice/brain storming/idea echange about pc without it costing them anything, if they want to pursue a course then fine ... if not then fine.... but its important to get the message across I think Len was trying to make ... that you don't need to pay someone to teach you permaculture techniques anymore than you need to pay someone to teach you how to plant cabbages. Of course there was "fluff" on this NG .... it was a community and thats what made it so ....IMO thats why new folks jumped in and started posting cos it felt like a community not just an information exchange. PS. If those are tim-tams you're passing out there Pete, I'll have one, ta ) tim-tam for you .....and seeing as the female/male ratio looks pretty good from where I'm sitting .......I also think a group hug would be nice. :-) Just keep Len away from the red cordial |
