[Pil-pc-oceania] permaculture political party

[Robyn Francis]

I find the precautionary emails about this are most valid.

Permaculturists would achieve a lot more by focussing on a good marketing
and promotion strategy to get permaculture solutions out to the world than
by setting up yet another political party.

As John said, we simply don't have the infrastructure to organise such an
enterprise and I think the efforts spend in such a futile endeavour could be
better invested for greater impact. I'm concerned it would only fragment our
energies and could potentially lose more support than we gain.

A new documentary like a permaculture equivalent to End of Suburbia, Future
of Food and other DVD's coming out in recent years  would serve the movement
and the planet well (it's over 15 years since Global Gardener). Streaming
lots of short permaculture videos on the internet would also get a lot of
people thinking and instigating solutions in their own lives and
communities.

Ciao
