Subject: Please Take a Minute to Vote - to
support our grant application to promote the
Permaculture Revolution
Would you please be so kind as to forward the
message below to all your contacts. We need
people to vote for this project, as Green
Mountain Coffee are running a competition that
could see us get $200,000. This would enable us
to not only create this book, but also do a
documentary, website, etc., which would go a
long way towards promoting Permaculture
worldwide. There is only a day before this
competition endsĀ. Thanks in advance Geoff. If
you could mark the email as priority that may
help also (if your mail program gives you this
option).
Hello everyone,
Thanks for taking a minute to read this and post
your vote, helping us get a grant that would go
a long way towards promoting Permaculture
worldwide:
<http://www.justmeans.com/competitionidea/10635/promoteidea.html>http://www.justmeans.com/competitionidea/10635/promoteidea.html
As many of you will know from a previous mailout
soliciting proposals for a book on successful
Permaculture projects around the world (thanks
for your responses by the way - and although I
haven't been able to respond to many people as
yet, I shall endeavour to do so in time) we are
working on writing a book called Sustainable
[R]evolution: permaculture in practice around
the world. It would profile over 50 sites
around the world that are modeling real
solutions to the global environmental crisis,
linked by the philosophy of permaculture.
In addition, our dream is to also release a
film, create a website and develop an
organization-- here's the brief on what we want
to do:
An inspiring global movement is underway that
some call the largest the planet has ever seen.
Armed with time-tested indigenous wisdom and
cutting-edge green techniques, the culture of
permaculture is taking root on every continent.
Permaculture is a design system that integrates
traditional knowledge with appropriate
technology. By restoring soil fertility,
permaculture techniques can reduce atmospheric
carbon to pre-industrial levels, key to reducing
climate change. The Culture of Permaculture is a
campaign including a book, film, and website
that aims to motivate a wider public to
integrate permaculture into their lives, making
a difference through individual action. The
book, to be released next year by Chelsea Green,
examines over 50 locations worldwide that model
positive futures. The Story of Permaculture, an
animation to be produced by Free Range Studios
(following the success of The Story of Stuff),
demonstrates the potential of permaculture to
roll back climate change.
Green Mountain Coffee is requesting proposals
for a grant that could make our campaign happen,
and part of the decision is based on online
votes. We just found out about this grant and
the votes are due by this Friday, March 20. Go
to<http://www.justmeans.com/competitionidea/10635/promoteidea.html>http://www.justmeans.com/competitionidea/10635/promoteidea.html
to vote for and/or comment on our idea to help
us make it a reality. Pass it on to anyone you
know who might be supportive. We SO MUCH
appreciate your taking the time to do it.
Sincerely
Craig Mackintosh (working with Louis and Juliana Fox from Free Range Studios)
