[Sdpg] Feb 2 Workshop Pomona

[Fred's Notebook]

Hey there Permafriends,

My name is Fred, and I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona's Lyle Center for 
Regenerative studies.  They've got a 15 acre integrated organic farm and 
permaculture landscaping.  Bill Roley helped plan much of the and a few 
other professors taught sustainable food production.

Bob Boles trained a few of us in strawbale building techniques before we 
built our greenhouse.  It is awesome!  Its R55 insulation  and passive 
solar architecture keep it warm all  winter  and cool all summer.

Friends and old roommates have been buying up Victorian homes around the 
school, fitting them with solar panels, growing some food, brewing beer, 
cooperating to shop and recycle, etc.  They hold little workshops.  The 
info follows.

Please feel welcome to attend!  (If you're coming from the San Diego County 
area, I'd appreciate an invitation to carpool.  Otherwise, you can join me 
on the train!)

Fred

Unfortunately, Sundays are days with limited public transportation 
opportunities in the southland. The metrolink line to downtown Pomona runs 
only a few times during the day. The San Bernardino line runs more 
frequentley on Sunday, is technically in Pomona, but is a 2 mile walk south 
from Garey Avenue. Taking the metrolink into the Downtown Pomona station in 
the late marning is the best bet. The return can be arranged with a carpool 
with other event parrticipants, you can opt to stay here overnight if time 
is not a problem, or there is an hourly bus line that comes through the 
same metrolink depot in downtown Pomona the connects up to union station 
and downtown L.A. (480 line).
