The official poll to select the three queens

This is round 1. The nominations came from this thread. That same thread contains the detailed particulars of the selection process - including more information on the nominees. This is to select the queens for the deck of permaculture playing cards for this kickstarter.

I first thought the criteria should be "Who, from this list, has provided the most innovation to permaculture?" and now I am thinking the best questions is "Who, from this list, best fits this deck as permaculture queen?"

You may vote for as many as you like. Just a thumbs up.

I know it may seem a bit trite at first, but my nomination is my greatest and most engaging teacher: Mother Nature

Followed by:
Vandana Shiva
Rachel Carson
Barbara Kingsolver
Lady Eve Balfour
and Starhawk

I agree with Mother Nature.
Another version/name: Gaia

Maybe too "Paul centric" but how about:
Alexia Allen

She's introduced lots of people to respectful chicken harvest.

If you put one name in each post it is not too late to add people.

I vote for Vandana Shiva...Not around from the beginning, but she is literally saving lives with her stand against Monsanto and helping her people and the world to grow "safe" and "well".
Thanks....... Quality kickstarter!
