Subject: Bill Mollison USA Workshop

Dear Friend,

I would like to invite you to a 3-day workshop by Dr. Bill Mollison,
the founder of Permaculture, October 10-12, 2000 in NW Louisiana. His
course precedes a Permaculture Design Certificate Course offered
October 16-28 by Geoff Lawton, appointed Director of the Permaculture
Research Institute by Mollison in 1997. These events will mark the
beginning of the demonstration center being established at this site.

Internationally renowned teacher and author of seven books, Dr.
Mollison, called the Father of Permaculture, is stepping out of
retirement to teach a three-day Permaculture course at the Northwest
Louisiana Commerce Center.

Army Ammunition Plant, where plans are under way to renovate the area
for Permaculture practices.

Permaculture education includes principles and practices of
sustainable soil, water, crop, forest, architectural, business, and
finance systems ­ ethical investment, community loan support and small
business management.

Permaculture, from PERMAnent agriCULTURE, is an integrated system of
design including not only agriculture, horticulture, architecture and
ecology but also land access strategies and economic systems for small
businesses and communities.

Taken from the Latin, permanens, to endure or persist through time and
cultura, cultures - permaculture is an interdisciplinary design
science focused on sustainable system design. Sustainable systems are
defined as those that, over their lifetime, produce energy equivalent
to or in excess of what they consume.

Permaculture operates on three ethics: care of the earth, care of the
species and return of excess to the first two.

Sincerely,

Victor A. Guadagno
