As it probably will be known of the readers of this website, the situation about the climate change on the globe, are virtually out of control.
The International Permaculture Network, have throughout the last 40 years, been developing projects in all climatical and geografic zone on the globe.
Projects that combines local peoples need for food, shelter and social and physical welfare with the regeneration of the four basic ecological elements: More fertil soil, pure water, rich winds and collection of carbon in soil and plants.
These characteristics led us - at the Permaculture Conference in 2007 in Brazil, IPC 8 – to develope a startegy for coping with the climate change – the strategy of the 10.000 trees.
The keypoint here are the ambition to formulate a coherent and efficient strategy up to the COP 15, the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen, december 2009.
Up to this conference it seems that the efforts to handle the problems are totally improper. In the light of the oceans lacking ability to absorbe CO2, the release of trace gasses from the thawing permafrost areas and the continoues logging of the forest on the globe – makes the talk of savings and quetas on CO2 ridiculously inadequate.
This webbside are the result of that situation and of the efforts in the international Permaculture network.
As such I have in continuation of IPC 8 worked out the pamphlet "less than 1 ton af CO2 pr person pr year / more then 10.000 trees pr person pr lifetime".
You find that pamphlet plus the one of 10.000 trees from IPC 8 in the folder ”Nordic Pamphlets”. Here you futhermore find a collection of pamphlets that were created for the more general and wider Permaculture debate at the IPC 8.
With the best wishes for your further reading and interests
