What is Permaculture/ Sustainability?
Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the  harmonious integration of 
landscape and people providing their food,
   energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a 
sustainable way. It is also the conscious design and maintenance of
   agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability 
and resilience of natural ecosystems.
 From Jeff and Sindhu Lawton Permaculture Designers and Teachers in 
Australia, Jordon, Macedonia,. They are one of the most experienced 
teachers and designers working in war torn countries and refugees to make 
changes and new choices for  others check out their webpage

GAIA'S GARDEN A GUIDE TO HOME SCALE GARDENS

The first book to locate Permaculture in the American Landscape

Activist Editor Toby Hemenway has assembled a practical and user friendly 
guide to backyard permaculture. Skillfully written and full of examples 
from the foremost permaculture gardens across the country, the text 
introduces permaculture principles at work, explaining the basics of this 
ingenious language of design. Chapters cover Soil, Water Management, and 
Choice of Plants, as well as more advanced subjects as Interplanting, 
Guilds, Forest Gardens and Garden Evolution. Drawing on a wealth of 
Permaculture Lessons and Lore, the author documents the dramatic successes 
of ordinary men and women in bringing barren landscapes to life and in 
doing so, he swings wide the permaculture gate for all garden lovers to enter.

Permaculture Film Series planned Sites Needed
I am embarking on an ambitious video series about sustainable communities 
and permaculture systems. I would be interesting in hearing from anyone 
(particularly in Southern California -- but I would be willing to travel to 
very special and unique projects elsewhere) who currently has a complete 
permaculture system, passive solar house, earth sheltered building, straw 
bale home, innovative water catchment systems, food forests, or any other 
system that demonstrate aspects of sustainable living. I am also seeking 
individuals who are planning any type of such systems and about to begin 
the design phase. Designers, teachers, and other experts in the above field 
are also needed to lend their expertise to the program.

Participants would be expected to appear on camera to explain their system 
and take our small video crew on a tour of it and each one will get a 
finished copy of the video.

Designers, teachers, and technical experts who are interested in 
participating in the development of this project are invited to also get in 
touch and become involved. Those who lend a significant amount of time to 
the project will be granted licensing rights to the completed series 
depending on their level of involvement.

Permaculture Credit Union Mission Statement

We pool the financial resources of the people who believe in the ethics of 
Permaculture and strive to redirect those resources to Earth-friendly and 
socially responsible loans and investments.

The credit union promotes thrift among its members and provides credit at 
reasonable rates. It creates the opportunity for members to control the use 
of their money and contribute to the revitalization of their community and 
the planet.


Q. What is a Credit Union?

A. After successive years of bad weather during the mid-19th century, 
European farmers needed a way to save their farms from foreclosure by urban 
banks. To do this they formed groups to pool their savings and lend to each 
other. The first credit union in the US was organized in 1909. However, it 
took a severe drought, the Great Depression, and the courage of President 
Franklin D. Roosevelt to stand up to the banks and create the Federal 
Credit Union Act of 1934.

Credit Unions continue to be a cooperative of individuals with a common 
bond who save their money and make loans. Credit Unions are member-owned, 
not-for-profit institutions. Banks are corporations operated for profit. 
Credit Unions are regulated by the chartering state and the Federal 
government and, as with banks, all deposits are Federally insured for up to 
$100,000.

Q. How can I get more information on the Permaculture Credit Union?

A. Please call us at 505 954 3479 or FAX 505 424 1624. Visit us online at 
www.pcuonline.org, email perma at pcuonline.org, or write to us.
