Hello Community,
This coming Saturday, November 11th is your opportunity to come to City Farm to help plant cover crops from 10am – 12noon.
City Farm is located at 1221 Calle Joaquin Road in SLO, along Highway 101 past Alfano Motors. (And now you’ll see the new BMW car dealership being built right next door to the farm.) See the event notice here below, including the graphic design for Our Global Family Village.
Hope to see you there. The land is becoming very productive and active with many farmers and farm education projects. Come check it out.
And in December there is an Earthworks for Resilience workshop here in SLO with Warren Brush. Scroll down to see more information…..

Live Well & Spark A Climate Revolution Book Signing & Talk with Author & NASA Climate Scientist Peter Kalmus Bicyclist, Backyard Gardener & Beekeeper Sunday, November, 12, 6:30–8:30pm FREE Event Location: Bici Centro, 434 Olive St, Santa Barbara, CA Facebook Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1351132924995557 These two disparate things---reducing my own fossil fuel use and increasing my ability to love— are actually intimately connected. There is no separation between me and the rest of the life on this planet. Peter Kalmus Join Santa Barbara Permaculture Network as we host Peter Kalmus, author of the newly published book Be the Change; Live Well & Spark a Climate Revolution, on Sunday November 12, 2017, at Bici Centro in downtown Santa Barbara. Special guest Paul Relis, a co-founder of the Community Environmental Council (CEC) after the devastating oil spill in the Santa Barbara Channel in 1969, will introduce Peter, linking two generations of committed and passionate citizen activists. Alarmed by drastic changes now occurring in the Earth’s climate systems, Kalmus, a climate scientist and suburban father of two, embarked on a journey to change his life and the world. He began bicycling, growing his own food, meditating, and making other simple, fulfilling changes. Ultimately, he slashed his climate impact to under a tenth of the US average, and became happier in the process. Being the Change explores the connections between our individual daily actions and our collective predicament. It merges science, spirituality, and practical action to develop a satisfying and appropriate response to global warming. The core message to his book is deeply optimistic: living without fossil fuels is not only possible, it can be BETTER. Peter Kalmus is an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory with a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University, and a BA in Physics from Harvard, maintaining clearly in his book and talks, he is speaking on his own behalf, not representing any of the scientific agencies he works for. Kalmus is a contributing editor and columnist for YES! Magazine. The event takes place on Sunday, November 12, 6:30 – 8:30pm, and will be held at Bici Centro, 434 Olive Street, in an outdoor courtyard. Please come early to explore the community bike center. Books will be available to purchase, author donating profits. The event is FREE and no reservations are required. For More Info: margie@sbpermaculure.org; www.sbpermaculture.org; 805-962-2571.
