Desertification - How to fix it!

Hello Readers,

I have been fairly busy the past couple of months, and so my posts have obviously been lacking. However, today I watched a TED Talk that blew my mind!

If you are interested in climate change, food justice, land management, livestock issues, and/or any number of other sustainability topics, this TED Talk is a must watch! Allan Savory, explains how to repair desertified regions in a manner that is counter-intuitive and frankly surprising.



For more information, you can also visit the TED website for a bio of Mr. Savory or the Savory Institute website.

Cheers,
Sean

Permaculture and Summer Social

Hello Readers,

I have not had too much time to prepare a post for today, but I thought you might be interested in two things:

For those of you who were following the MBTA Series and live in Boston: tomorrow (Thursday, August 2nd, 2012) there is a Summer Social hosted by Livable Streets at the BSA Space.

Event Details
Thursday, August 2, 5:30-7:30pm
At the BSA Space
290 Congress Street, Boston
Free and open to the public

The BSA (or Boston Society of Architects) is providing the space, and visitors can check out their current exhibit "Let's Talk About Bikes."

For those of you not living in Boston, I have found a thorough article explaining what Permaculture is: Taking the Permaculture Path to Community Resilience, which should be interesting for any aspiring sustainable community planners who want to take their calling to the next level!

Welcome to August!
