THE CURRICULUM

hole!.."

expanded material: Eco-Literacy, Biomimicry, Peak Oil, The
Home-Ecosystem, Natural Building Techniques, Backyard Food-Forests,
Fossil-less Fuels, Alternative Energy, Industrial Ecology, Patterns of
Human Dynamics & Community, Practicing Democracy, MicroVillage

Building, Sustainable Landscape Construction, Art in the Garden &
More...
