Sun, 05/02/2012 - 17:02 — Grow Between

Permaculture and Peoplecare:

integrating sustainability in our lives in the light of the current economic and ecological crisis.

A One Day Workshop in Sheffield

This workshop is an opportunity for people interested in issues of sustainability. Faced with the challenge of integrating sustainable practices we may find ourselves struggling with despair, or isolated and wishing to make supportive connections. There can be pain in being in with friends and family who are not presently aware or concerned about their relationship with our wider natural environment and this will be a chance to share our experiences. The day will provide a facilitated space to consider questions, share experiences, learn from each other and build community. There will also be a simple organic vegan lunch provided.

We live on a finite planet with finite resources, and it is obvious that there are limits to growth - limits to the rate at which the global economy can grow, and consume the world's resources.

To do this monetary reform is desperately needed, and the video and web links in this article will tell you why.
