I just added a new blog over on my blogroll -> The Green V. It’s the blog of a fellow I know through my participation in the Heart of Now Community. He’s got an interesting mix of personal, social, sustainability, and net-life commentary. It’s good stuff. One interesting bit of content he’s working on is his ‘PermaClips’, how to videos on permaculture. I’m not sure if he’ll be charging for access to the content or not.. I hope not, because it promises to be some good stuff (I got to see one of the first ones last year). And important dissemination of information to those of us who can’t seem to get to Lost Valley’s Ecovillage Permaculture Certification Program, or other workshops of similiar content.

At this point I don’t know much about permaculture, just that it’s a movement towards living more sustainably with Mother Earth. I do think though, that any movement that is that focused on Sustainability can lend something to others of us looking to build sustainable models around business, education, etc. At some point during this PhD process it is my intention to take time to head to LVEC for at least their 2 week course, though I’d rather go longer, so I can figure out what the links are between sustainable open education and sustainable living with Mother Earth.

i’ve been thinking about permaculture and open ed. i just did another search and found this: PermaWiki. Only 140 articles there. There should be many many more.
