Swarm for Change – Coalition of the Willing
|
|
A few days ago I gave you all a sneak peek at the Worldwide Permaculture Network database we’re furiously working on. As I’ve expressed multiple times on this site and in discourses with permaculturists worldwide, it’s my firm belief that driving permaculture into mainstream thinking will only happen if the mainstream see the breadth and scope of permaculture work today, and its enormous potential if demanded by citizens and incentivised by governments. People need to see us as a movement; a force to be reckoned with and taken seriously. This is where such an online network as we’re building can become a valuable tool for real change. With it we can both showcase projects of every shape and size worldwide, and network and collaborate to put pressure where pressure is needed.
The following video clip expounds on these thoughts nicely.
I look forward to releasing this system for general consumption, and hope you will help us with feedback and involvement to make it everything it should be.
looks great, great animation by the way, do you have any links to the websites you are making?
Hi Moe – screenshots of the under-construction system are here:

It’s hosted here (no access for general consumption yet, but soon!):

Hi Craig
Can’t say I agree with everything in the video, but then again, no one ever does agree about everything! If you achieve only half of your potential then global warming will not be a problem.
One big question, who, or what is the “knife party”?
Genius…well done! I’m most definitely keen to be a part of this!
Hi Craig. I would really like to get in contact with you. Are you able to email me as I can’t seem to find your contact details. After watching “Coalition of the willing” I really felt that I wanted to extend my helping hand as a Communication Designer. I really hope to hear from you soon.
Regards
Daniel
Hi Daniel – have sent you an email. My contact details are on the ‘Contact’ page also.
Nice…a place for starting the shift…
Craig,
We have been having a dialogue amongst Permaculture practitioners here in the US about certification, etc. Have you been in the loop? Wayne
Hi Wayne – my address is editor (at) permaculturenews.org if you think I should be in the loop. If it’s reading a million different viewpoints going in hundreds of directions, I fear I won’t have the time to read them all and make some sense of it though.
