[Sdpg] Fwd: QUECHAN FORUM ON VALLEY FEVER-JULY 8-6:00pm

[archelonia at cox.net]

Please see the announcement about Valley Fever forum July 8 at Quechan (Fort Yuma) Indian Reservation Near Yuma. Valley fever is spreading as soils are becoming disturbed by development in the arid southwestern US. One of the biggest development activities currently is industrial scale renewable energy. It is important for permaculturists to analyze the environmental impacts of various renewable energy systems and promote those that have the least negative impacts, along with promoting energy conservation.

Valley Fever (coccidiodomycosis) is a disease caused by a fungus in the soil in the Southwest desert.  People get sick when they breathe in the fungus.
