Learn reasons for applying a permaculture way of thinking to how we live
The Thoughtful Living Series, a series of community discussions sponsored by the River Forest Parks Foundation & the River Forest Public Library, will resume on Wednesday, October 26th, at the River Forest Library, 735 Lathrop Ave in River Forest. This month, the series will feature a presentation on Permaculture: Fundamentals & Principles.
Learn the essence of, and reasons for, applying a permaculture way of thinking to how we live.
What permaculturists do:
- strive to grow food just about anywhere,
- repair environmentally damaged lands,
- design lovely and durable green buildings,
- produce power,
- run successful, people-oriented businesses
- and build authentic community.
They accomplish this by using the same fundamental design principles and by applying a fundamental permaculture ethic: Care of people. Care of the earth. Sharing all surplus.
Presenter for the evening - Jody Luna
The presenter for the evening will be Jody Luna, a 2007 graduate of Midwest Permaculture’s Design Certificate course. She graduated from Illinois Institute of Technology with a Master’s of Architecture in 2006. She runs an environmental design firm, Conscious Designs, and teaches at Illinois Institute of Art in Schaumburg, IL.
