[Pil-pc-oceania] permaculture videos on the internet

[permaculture at apollobay.org.au]

There's a fair amount of permaculture videos on YouTube

Tens of thousands of people have done PDCs... 

I'm finding that alot of people who did their PDCs in the 80's/ early 90's,
or who were into the back to the land/ self-sufficiency movement (&
implemented permaculture practises) in the 70's and then fell asleep... are
reawakening... 

we are a powerful network... and have so much potential.

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
Robyn
