Local and Global Permaculture Teachers Speak
We surveyed numerous Permaculture Teachers. Marcia Boruta organizes their answers into this excellent summary.

Transforming the Building Industry to Model Nature
Ben Haggard writes about how permaculture has worked with the various talents of the building industry to give us a hopeful model for sustainability and "regenerativity." Sustainable development need not be an oxymoron!

Sustaining a Revolutionary Community
Permaculturalist teacher and author Toby Hemenway focuses on Zone Zero, ourselves, and writes about how working on oneself is essential before the message of permaculture can become fully grounded, where "our inner selves, spiritual hearts, and activist hands are united."

Dynamics of Culture and its Relevance to Permaculture
Robyn Francis travels the world teaching Permaculture. She has more than just a few tips on how we need to be more observant of the culture at hand before and while we teach in different cultures.

In this Issue...
The current crisis is waking people up to the US's foreign policies, to its eagerness to use the grotesque arsenals of death, and its increasing attacks on our civil liberties. Some of us are courageous enough to look history and truth in the face in order to come up with genuine answers, not simple platitudes based on a blind patriotism. Some have been deeply affected by wars, inequities, natural resource overconsumption and depletion, and the growing power of transnational corporations chipping away at democratic policies. Some have turned their lives around to become the paradigm-shift that we need. Some have become warriors of a different sort. The people portrayed in this special issue are the new type of warriors. They have been deeply affected by the world's suffering for a long time. They have deeply searched for answers that get to the root of our dilemma. They have turned "protest against inequities" into a livelihood where joy, peace and fecundity are in abundance. This is our next step. This is our new vision... and this is the time for all of us to become acquainted with the world of Permaculture: a quiet revolution, or as Bill Mollison calls it, "a peaceful sedition."...
