.... here in columbus ohio we have small community organizations working towards sustainability in the area... what i have noticed is that they are all in the nicer parts of town... actually the nicest parts of town.... sustainable westerville, sustainable clintonville.... but there is no sustainable this or that in the ghettos of columbus.... and i think that this is the case in a lot of other places.... so how do we bridge the gap? that's all that i'm asking.

If we want to sell permaculture to people who are hanging by their fingertips from the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder, IMO we should probably scrap words like "sustainability," "green," etc and focus on free or cheap ways to cut heating bills, water bills, food bills using permaculture strategies.

The truth of the matter is, you don't need a certificate to PRACTICE permaculture. You need it only if you plan on SELLING permaculture in the way of services rendered or goods provided.

This seems to be different from when Bill Mollison wrote the "Designers Manual." Then you only needed certification to TEACH. Who is saying you can't use it when selling permaculture services or goods?

I think in order to sell goods and services that explicitly use the term 'permaculture' you must have a design certificate. The teaching certificate is necessary for teaching, of course, but if you planned on starting a farm that sold some type of permaculture 'labeled' produce and you've only read about it and don't have a certificate, you cannot legally market it as such. That is my basic understanding, but I could certainly be wrong.

Though also, I suppose that if anyone could use 'permaculture' in their work, we could see it taking the same route as 'certified organic' or 'cage-free.'

Not if they adhere to the ethics and principles of permaculture.

If your work is selling designs, then, yes, you do need the certificate. If you practice permaculture on your own land, no, you do not need the certificate to call your work permaculture.

Wanted to also add the PermacultreNet channel on YouTube has a bunch (like half a dozen or so?) of free DVD's for your viewing/learning pleasure. I particularly enjoy the two produced by Geoff Lawton.
