<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt;">Permaculture
design is ecological design. It readily applies to homesteading, even urban and
suburban homesteading. It also applies to agriculture, agro-forestry, community
planning, nature awareness, and survival. It relies greatly on ecology,
including social and spiritual ecology. And it hinges on every-day common
application and practice. Permaculture works to mimic the patterns and
functions of nature so that we can live, grow, and harvest our needs
sustainably and according to ecology.</span></span></div>

The goal is to create and develop an urban agriculture institution using Permaculture as our guidelines.<br />
<br />
Registration is now open for Let’s Get Dirty Certified Permaculture training, August 4, 2012 through October 20, 2012. This nine week intensive hands-on training and classroom presentations will be another method in re-skilling our community in health and wellness. <b>Eight hours on Saturdays 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.</b>, Twenty five various community members, students, teachers and at-risk youth will give up their weekends to study urban agriculture, recycling, waste management, land and water conservation and a whole lot more. A Graduation Ceremony will culminate the program with newly trained permaculture practitioners.<br />
<br />
<b>We are also seeking sponsorships to support our youth between the ages of 15-25.</b> This age group is the most forgotten and committing most of the crimes in our communities, says Rafiyqa Muhammad who is the sustainability administrator for the Let’s Get Dirty certified program. The cost of re-skilling our youth is much cheaper per person than incarcerating them. These certified practitioners will be able to start their own green business or live a more sustainable life style. Using this type of program could help reduce unemployment rates, reduce crime, teach new skills, and provide valuable information on living a healthier life.<br />
<br />
<b>Benjamin Weiss</b> is a certified permaculture teacher, designer and an organic farmer from Lancaster County. He will be facilitating all phases of the certified course. He has studied natural building & permaculture at The Farm Eco village Training Center in Tennessee, urban agriculture at Growing Power in Wisconsin, and received his permaculture teacher training at the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute in Colorado.<br />

Mel, retired from a successful engineering consulting business in his early forties, began to develop over a number of years a gardening concept he called square foot gardening. He went on to write the best selling gardening book, “All New Square Foot Gardening” with over 2 million sold as well as doing gardening shows on PBS and the Discovery Channel. In fact, his gardening show on PBS was the longest running gardening show ever in PBS history!</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">This presentation will run from 7:00 to about 8:00 pm at 40 North 19th Street in Camp Hill (very near Fredrickson Library). We will meet at Paul Garrett's house for the talk then walk about one block up to Seppi's house to see his Square Foot Garden.<br />

Using two contrasting fabrics, we cut two 4.5"x4.5" pieces of fabric for a total of four squares. Sewing these in pairs, then sewing the pairs together, our 9"x9"square was completed in less than an hour!<br />

If you don't know how to sew, you will know how by the end of the hour.<br />

Each square is different and progresses from easy to difficult, for a total of twelve squares: Four Patch, Nine Patch, Pinwheel, Waterwheel, Bright Hopes, Log Cabin, Drunkard's Path, Sweetheart, Iron Cross, Eight Pointed Star, Crazy Quilt, and Heart in Hand.<br />
<br />
The completed squares will have "sashing" in between (the strips of fabric separating each square). Once the sashing is added, then the batting (the insulating layer) and the backing are basted (loosely stitched) to the front. Then this "sandwich" will be put in a small quilting frame for the actual quilting (sewing the sandwiched layers together in plain or fancy patterns). Once the quilting is done, the edges will be trimmed (cutting away excess fabric) and, in the last step, binding will be added on all four sides.Transition Harrisburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02013621515925667703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386549062709064223.post-65045724824040870982011-04-10T19:16:00.000-07:002011-04-22T16:19:39.810-07:00Our new scheduleWe will be meeting the FIRST Thursday and the THIRD Wednesday of each month.

With the conversation directed towards what each citizen of Harrisburg can do to make the city the best it can be, the forum will aim to put the power of change into the hands of the people.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />From 5 pm until 9 pm, the evening will be about learning of opportunities in Harrisburg to make a difference, with dozens of local groups available to explain their goals and room for volunteers. In<br />addition, a handful of panelists, all experts in their respective fields, will engage with various issues related to human justice in the city, including educational reform, racial reconciliation, the support<br />of health clinics in parts of the city, beautification projects, advocacy, and so on. Throughout the evening, guests of the event will be treated to several local musical groups and numerous refreshments.<br /><br />This forum will be the best chance this year for the people of Harrisburg to see the opportunities to get involved in, and to act on those opportunities.<br /></span> <br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For more information, please visit </span><a send="true" href="http://www.humanjusticeforum.com/" style="color: rgb(92, 69, 32); font-size: medium;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://www.humanjusticeforum.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, or email the forum’s director, Ryan Gerber, at </span><a send="true" href="mailto:ryan@humanjusticeforum.com" style="color: rgb(92, 69, 32); font-size: medium;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ryan@humanjusticeforum.com.</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent;"></span></span>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15944292738412879071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386549062709064223.post-13506174214534007632011-03-02T13:57:00.000-08:002011-03-02T13:57:20.051-08:00Transition Training in New JerseyGenesis Farm is hosting a spring Transition Training with Michael Brownlee and Lynette Marie Hanthorn.

<br />
Ames True Temper just got Hampden Twp. approval to turn a nearly 2-acre grass plot next to its headquarters at 465 Railroad Ave. into a fenced-in community garden of 150 raised beds.<br />
<br />
The company is giving FREE USE of these plots to anyone in the area who’d like to sign up. There’s no catch, no hidden motive, no surprise expense that you find out about later.</span></span>Transition Harrisburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02013621515925667703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386549062709064223.post-23178710837990368972011-03-01T20:12:00.000-08:002011-03-02T18:03:16.907-08:00POSTPONED!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">All,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br />
I have been talking to some people around the state and several of them have convinced me to wait until next week to ride to Harrisburg for the protest regarding gas and state forests. The hope is it will maximize organization.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br />
Ed Perry of the NWF and Dave Masur have helped me contact more people and get a slightly more coordinated timeline. Though I feel that this needs to happen ASAP, a bit more coordination could result in a better press and<br />
government impact. I apologize for the delay. I can't state what day it will be right now but as soon as I know, you will know too.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br />
Much thanks for your patience and your support! I look forward to seeing those of you who can come.</span><br />

</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">I am tired of this. Beneath the Marcellus Shale is the Utica Shale on which my beloved home, the Rothrock State Forest rests. My heart, my family, the breath of our air has been compromised in Moshannon and Tioga and Sprowl and Forbes and Bald Eagle and Allegheny enough. This boy who has ridden and loved these forests can't take it anymore.</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><br />

We are going to the office and we are going to talk to him about this because it's too much. The water. Traffic. Noise. Deer killed. Fish kills. Price gouging. Market manipulations. Campaign rigging and contributions.</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">To prove the point, I will be riding my bike from my house in State College starting at about 4 am and arriving there in the late morning. No fossil fuels. I will have a prepared letter for the governor. Until he meets with me/us, I will not leave.</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Our next general meeting of Transition Harrisburg is this coming Thursday, February 24th, at The Boys & Girls Club of Harrisburg. We will start promptly at 7:00 p.m. in the Education Room in the gymnasium.</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">The Boys & Girls Club is on Berryhill Street, near 13th Street. There is ample off-street and on-street parking. Please enter the gym from the parking lot side. The Education Room is downstairs and to your left. People will be there to greet you and give you directions.</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Since Transition Harrisburg is working with the Boys & Girls Club and Ngozi Eco-Village to create a permaculture garden there (up to two acres!), and a market, we will be facilitating a "Visioning". This process asks us, as small groups and then as the larger group, to create a vision of what this garden will look like 10 years from now. Once we have that vision (and the roadblocks!), we can start to "backcast" the steps needed to get to that vision! This forms our roadmap to success, which we will check and update periodically. Your participation is essential to making this work.</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><br />

Permaculture aims to create stable, productive systems that provide for human needs, harmoniously integrating the land with its inhabitants. The ecological processes of plants, animals, their nutrient cycles, climatic factors and weather cycles are all part of the picture. Inhabitants’ needs are provided for, using proven technologies for food, energy, shelter and infrastructure. Elements in a system are viewed in relationship to other elements, where the outputs of one element become the inputs of another. Within a Permaculture system, work is minimised, "wastes" become resources, productivity and yields increase, and environments are restored. Permaculture principles can be applied to any environment, at any scale from dense urban settlements to individual homes, from farms to entire regions.</div><div style="font: 13.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 6.0px 0.0px;">(see the entire entry at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture)</div><div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><br />

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b> This is the only formal DRBC hearing within an hour of Philadelphia prior to March 16th deadline</b></div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b> If DRBC finalizes these regulations, that ends the moratorium on shale gas drilling in our watershed.

</b></div><div><b>Where: Patriots Theater, War Memorial</b></div><div><b> 1 Memorial Drive, Trenton, NJ</b></div><div><b> Capacity: 1,833</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>TRAIN INFORMATION: scroll down below the "why" section!</b></div><div><b>AFTER-PARTY INFORMATION: scroll down below the "train" section!</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>Why: Come to testify: these regulations are inadequate and must not be finalized. </b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>If you are not ready to testify or can't sign up in time, come as a show of support for clean air, water, earth and food.</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>Why else:</b></div><div><b>The pro-drilling lobby with their deep pockets are providing free buses and free lunches to Trenton. </b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>This could create the mis-impression (in the media and in the public mind) that most Delaware River watershed residents want drilling to happen fast and furious. Pro-drilling forces are pushing for no delay, don't want to wait for any EPA study or Cumulative Impact Study, and want to frack away despite zero regulation of methane, a greenhouse gas which is 100 times more potent than carbon dioxide when measured in a twenty year time frame. </b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>We must not ignore the accumulating health impacts people in Western states, and western PA, are experiencing! Over 1000 instances of water contamination from shale gas drilling have been reported across the country.</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>We need clean energy jobs and a sustainable, renewable energy-based economy, not dangerous toxic extraction.</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>The facts: </b></div><div><b>With current practices and current exemptions shale gas drilling is not safe; it does irreparable harm to water and air while escalating global warming by spewing unregulated methane into the atmosphere through the extraction process. The EPA study about hydraulic fracturing risks to water and air will not be complete for two years, and carcinogens such as benzene are turning up in drinking water near shale gas drilling sites in many states. No cumulative impacts study whatsoever has been done in the Delaware River watershed and such a study is an absolute minimum requirement prior to any rules being finalized and the lifting of the moratorium here.</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>Congress is investigating right now how and why Halliburton and 11 other drilling companies injected 32 million gallons of diesel fuel underground as part of shale gas drilling operations from 2005 to 2009. The EPA just announced that methane emissions at shale gas drilling sites are 9,000 times greater than they previously thought. People and animals have gotten sick from toxic exposure to shale gas drilling operations, through water and air. </b></div><div><b><br />
