It would seem appropriate at this time to suggest that we start a new
discussion forum in the form of a sister mailing list to permaculture-mg
on the topic of the principles of permaculture and the principles of
sustainable agriculture. I am making available a new unmoderated mailing
list just for this purpose, sustag-principles. It is available now;
subscription instructions follow.
This way those that primarily want hands-on permaculture technology talk
can have their way in permaculture-mg; those that want to discuss the
social, political, religious, cultural and legal issues related to
permaculture
own sustag-principles. These guidelines are flexible, of course - I'm
just
suggesting a way we can make our conferences more useful to all who read
and
post to them.
As with permaculture-mg, sustag-principles will be processed, htmlized
and made
accessable in an indexed, threaded, chronological archive in my
permaculture homepage.
