"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."

ROOM TO BE AVAILABLE AT ECO-HOME


Dear Permaculture Friends:


Longtime resident of Eco-Home, J.C. Earle is planning to move to Vermont in a few months so I'm looking for a new housemate. 


I'm putting out the word to you all first because I think "permies" are more likely to share my values (care for the earth, care for each other, sharing excess), be interested in food gardening and living more sustainably in an urban setting.  J.C. and I met in one of Larry Santoyo's classes. 


Eco-Home has a backyard organic orchard and veggie garden we maintain together.  And that's part of the deal.  Residents help maintain the property, gardens and house.  There are only two of us, so it's not an insignificant amount of maintenance work that each of us do.


I'm a 75 year old woman, strong and healthy for my age, but I'm definitely appreciating that, as a 35 year old man, J.C. is able to do work that I find difficult or can't do.  Not that I won't consider women or older people, too, as possible residents, but I want to acknowledge, up front, that I do consider the extra strength of a young man an asset in this situation.


Eco-Home is located in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles.  The room will become available in September or October.


Call me at 323-662-5207 or e-mail me at < JuliaSR@pacbell.net > if you're interested and would like to come to take a look and meet me.  I will ask for financial, job and personal references.
