If there is ever a laboratory or perfect test case for mobilizing an entire nation to permaculture, this is it.

I had sent the red cross money, and now regret that. Since there are permaculturists on the ground that seem to stretch aid further than these coporatized charities, I think the money would go further and be better appreciated with ourSOIL or with a donation to your project Racine I find it a bit odd that he didn't mention that, or that he didn't mention the Permaculture disaster relief forming. I took a look at that and they were using sprouts! How ingenious, quick food! and I saw something about pumps to get the water out at this spot the permaculture guild http://www.permacultureguild.us/a-solution-for-haiti/ so I guess I am wishing he used the attention a little bit better.
