Open Community Meeting about Fire Resistant building and landscaping ideas  
using Permaculture principles

The Santa Barbara Permaculture Guild is  having our monthly meeting on 
Tuesday, December 2,  2008 at 7PM at Pueblo, 114 E. Haley Ste. E.  It is an open 
meeting and the community is invited.  

Because of the Tea Fire, we are offering information that is very timely  and 
important, before people start to rebuild and rework their properties--if  
they are interested.  The topic is Fire Resistant Building and Landscaping  
Ideas Using Permaculture Principles. We do not and cannot guarantee that if you  
follow these ideas, that your home and property will never burn, but we have a  
lot of hard facts and ideas about plants, materials, and approaches that help 
 properties be more fire resistant.  The ideas and suggestions that will be  
discussed at the meeting are those that fit into our current city and/or 
county  building codes. We may also discuss how government can support more 
sustainable  building and planning for catastrophes. We will have a variety of 
resources  presented, followed by a community discussion and brainstorming.  
Everyone  is welcome to attend and participate.  We have a large community of  
Permaculture designers in the Santa Barbara area and we especially welcome their  
expertise.
