[Lapg] March 15/Peace March & All Day Event/Peace & the Environment, Join Us

[Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

Hi Everyone-

On March 15 the People's Coalition will host an 
all day event commemorating 5 years of war in 
Iraq.  Santa Barbara Permaculture Network will be 
participating throughout the day, with the theme 
of Peace through Sustainability & Permaculture.

We will join the Peace March part of the day with 
creative signage that speaks about wars impact 
specifically on the environment.  We would like 
to invite other environmental groups or 
individuals to join us to march in a cluster with 
thoughts on this topic.   Signs we have created 
so far say things like "War=Eco-cide", "There is 
no Sustainablity in a War Torn Nation".   We 
invite you to get creative!  Come with good ideas 
of a more sustainable world that doesn't require 
resources from far away places to create an 
abundant society.  Let your signs express these 
ideas, hopefully in a joyful, imaginative way.

Grow Food Party Crew joins us from 
Ventura/Oxnard, with their ideas of creating 
abundance in the neighborhood, by planting edible 
gardens in front yards of Suburbia:

"Imagine the feeling of abundance everywhere you 
go. Walking through your neighborhood or down 
city streets, the land has a feeling of being 
cared for and it's obvious – each area is 
uniquely beautiful and provides food, medicine, 
fuel and so many other yields year round. People 
actually interacting – sharing resources and 
stories about daily life – taking care of each 
other. Our community has real wealth and power 
and we are all creating it in our own special 
way. The Grow Food Party Crew is a collective of 
people manifesting this vision. We are literally 
a crew of party people traveling from 
neighborhood to neighborhood transforming the 
land through celebration – music, food, dance, 
play, laughter and hard work.  In the course of a 
single day we create organic veggie gardens, food 
forests, water catchment systems, and earthen or 
natural structures. At night we continue to party 
down hard - on site or all around town. After all 
our fun is had, a community resource is created forever!"


The day and march begins at Vera Cruz 
Park.  Please look for our Santa Barbara 
Permaculture Network signs and join us with your 
creative signs linking sustainability and the 
environment in a world where War isn't needed.

See below for the days complete schedule and 
events, including Workshops beginning at 2:30 at 
the downtown Public Library, Faulkner Gallery, 
where Santa Barbara Permaculture Network and Grow 
Party Food Crew will make a presentation.

Imagine another world is possible-

Hope to see you there-
