Back the BEL - Invest in Permaculture

The world is desperate for a couple things. At or near the top of that list:

Community

Solutions

Permies.com exists hand-in-hand, side-by-side with Wheaton Labs, a permaculture community and research site near Missoula Montana, where many of the greatest permaculture projects of the last ten-plus years have occurred.

The lifeblood of Wheaton Labs (and in many ways, permies.com and overall forward momentum of Permaculture as a driving force for positive global change) is the Permaculture Bootcamp. That is why we love showering the Boots with attention, gratitude, and cold, hard cash through the BEL (Bootcamp Experience Log storytelling incentive program).

Right now, there is a little north of $9k in the BEL fund. We want to make this pile massively larger, so that wonderful, high-quality individuals find the Bootcamp+BEL opportunity close to irresistible.

The goal of this fundraiser is to move the needle in the BEL fund. As of now, we're hoping to see $20k in this pile. Timeline, oh I don't know, let's say Halloween-ish.

One recent FAQ was something like this: "Why would I give to this instead of, say, Vallhala Permaculture or Jimnmy Neutron Permaculture?" First, I love Valhalla and Jimmy. They are both the bees' knees. So, if you love what they do, give them money for their stuff. This investment is a great opportunity to sow into our particular flavor of permaculture - our style of Making the World a Better Place in Your Backyard, Instead of Being Angry at Bad Guys. We do that in a lot of ways - novel, permaculture growing systems, natural building techniques, our approach to community, developing the free SKIP curriculum, and on and on (and ON). If you love that stuff, this is a great place to put your money.
