"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."

Subject: [Scpg] New PDC at Santa Barbara City College!
NEW PDC Schedule!!
SBCC Permaculture Design Course, Summer 2012
3 Weeks, Semi-Intensive
(Fri-Sat for 3 wks + trip to Quail Springs)
The Permaculture Design Course (PDC) offered at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) is a part of the SBCC Environmental Horticulture program and has been taught for several years in both the Spring & Summer sessions.
The session this summer will be a three week intensive for the first time. It is a (4) credit class, and is a requirements for 3 of the SBCC Landscape Design & Restoration certificate programs! So permaculture design strategies will now make their way into these professions through this door. Very powerful. Two days will be spent at Quail Springs Permaculture Farm.
We are grateful this course has made the PDC affordable to students who otherwise couldn't afford a PDC at this time in their lives, and know they will go on to take additional and more advanced Permaculture courses with other teachers in the future.
