In 1984 Bill Mollison said that permaculturists had ten years to make a difference. This was Plan A. Given the stunning decline of the planet’s ecological equilibrium in the last few years most would consider it ludicrous to suggest that we have. However there are more than a few who feel strongly that perhaps we may claim to have set the stage to make a difference. Having gained a hard won foothold in so many countries of the world we are in a unique position to make our moves towards center stage and assume the authority based on the merit of our proven abilities. We have to do this!

 

IPC8 in Brazil May 2007 will provide an opportunity for our growing family, with so many new members from the Latin American world, to come together and conspire to make our planet healthy again. It will be an opportunity to get our stories straight, learn new and applicable economic strategies, connect our resource bases and work on Plan B. If, as its said, Hurricane Katrina was not past but prologue, then we need to hammer out bioregionally based disaster contingent strategies.

 

The threads in the web of our global family are of pure gold, the likes of which do not exist in any other family and 2007 will be an occasion to bring back the shine and to make a difference. Carpe Diem!
