Coming up in December...
The Place of Permaculture
Saturday, December 10, 2-4pm
An overview of permaculture design processes and applications, and how they compare to other whole systems approaches to sustainability.
The permaculture section will be based on the twelve principles of David Holmgren's 2003 book, Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability, which incorporates designing supportive community relationships.
We will also explore how permaculture's holistic, integrated focus compares with some other systems approaches to sustainability. This second section will summarize some other integrated systems and their applications -- evaluating how they fit our holistic requirements. Included are: The Natural Step, The Earth Charter, Zero Emissions Research & Initiatives (ZERI), Willaim McDonough's "cradle to cradle" approach and Ken Wilber's Integral Theory as applied to ecology and sustainability.
The presenter, Rael Bassan coordinates the Chicagoland Urban Permaculture group. Summary handouts will be available. Free and open to the public.
At North Park Village Nature Center, 5801 N. Pulaski, Chicago.
Turn left at the first T intersection.
