The Happiest of Holiday Greetings to All,
We're celebrating the return of rain to our City of Angels: as the landscape greens
up, the threat of fire lessens. Still, we must seek to always be prepared- and Permaculture
Design can help us with that. Fire, flood, drought or earthquake- Permaculture has
a "Design to Avoid Disaster" imperative -see upcoming workshops, links and other
info below for more information on how to keep yourself, your family and your community
safer.
For celebrating the Holiday Season, we have some giving, gifting (and getting!)
ideas for you, too. Please help support eco-friendly products, orgs that are working
towards our sustainable future and our local artisans with your patronage and generous
donations.
Hey -what else is coming up? Please let us know! -submit
your news items, ideas and
announcements -and as always, feel free to forward this newsletter to a friend...
-the LAPG crew -with a holiday toast to you!
