CEC'S SANTA BARBARA EARTH DAY FESTIVAL

Hi Everyone -   it's Earth Day again! 

Santa Barbara Permaculture Network will be in a new location this year,  look for us in the Public Square section, space #334,  on  the West side of Alameda Park.  Please stop by, we will have extra chairs & table if you want to visit, rest awhile, eat your lunch, relax into the fun of Earth Day. 

We are excited Paul Hawkins will be a big part of Earth Day celebrations this year, as he specifically talks about permaculture climate solutions in his Drawdown project & book.  He will be  honored on Saturday at 2pm on the Main Stage, as the Environmental Hero for 2017.  The  CEC is also a co-sponsor for his talk Saturday night at UCSB Campbell Hall - Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming.  Yes, let’s start talking about solutions!

 

Don’t forget to put on your calendars our upcoming Carbon Farming Solution event with Eric Toensmeier on Sunday April 30th, on the SBCC campus, for more info visit: www.sbpermaculture.org.  Eric is a senior fellow on the Drawdown Project with Paul Hawkins, with a strong background in permaculture.

 

We will also be launching a Crowd Fund soon for IPC India, the global Permaculture Convergence that happens every two years, a different region & country each time.  We are happy & excited to be going to India as they celebrate their 30th anniversary of Permaculture in India.  One of the main themes for IPC India is Women As Agents of Change.

 

To get things started, we will have a Crowd Fund donation jar on our table at Earth Day, maybe you want to contribute $5, $10, $20!  To get some of the most talented & innovative Permaculture designers & thinkers, who because they are many times coming from remote, sometimes very poor regions, cannot get there without scholarship assistance.   It is extraordinary how many times Permaculture is mentioned now in mainstream press around the world, as being adopted as a strategy for some of the dire circumstances that countries everywhere are facing.  Much of what was hatched, started in brainstorming sessions at these international convergences.  

 

See you at Earth Day,  as you know, it is one of our favorite festivals of the year.   Thanks & gratitude to CEC for sponsoring all these years.
