I'd like to say a big thanks to Cassie, Burra and everybody else from Permies who invited me to be a part of the discussion around vegan permaculture, plus everybody who participated in the conversations. I hope everybody found it as valuable and as challenging as I did - I certainly went away with plenty of food for thought! Apologies for a bit of a lack of engagement or direct replies from Friday afternoon (UK timezone) onwards, I was co-teaching the last weekend of a Permaculture Design Course in London with very little internet access and even less free time, but I was certainly pondering some of the issues that were raised, it's always good to be pushed out of one's comfort zone even if it doesn't feel particularly nice at the time...
As a final plug, I'll once again mention the Vegan Permaculture Design Courses that I'm co-teaching this Summer in Somerset, England with the very wonderful Nicola Vosper at Brook end
webpage, plus with my very good friend William Faith at Wild Earth Animal Sanctuary in Kentucky, USA
webpage - see you all there! (well some of you anyway!) Places still available but book fast to avoid disappointment... Vegan or not, these will be a blast....
Thanks again, and I'll try and chip in on this forum when I can - big love to everyone, Graham
