    hello to everyone on the forum!
    im joel lee from the cebu permaculture initiatives, an NGO based in central philippines.

    recently, i have spent a lot of time on the internet searching for references and AV training materials i can use for the upcoming PDC im conducting here in Cebu.

    to expand the usefulness of the work done, i would like to share the links + some description thru this forum so that PDC teachers can easily locate these materials, as well as share with others the resources they have discovered.

    i invite everyone to keep on adding materials vs. the outline used by the Permaculture, A Designer's Manual by Bill Mollison (PDM). In this way, we can use a common way of referencing and searching these useful training materials:

    PDM 1 intro to permaculture
    PDM 2 concepts & themes in permaculture design
    PDM 3 methods of permaculture design
    PDM 4 pattern understanding
    PDM 5 climactic factors
    PDM 6 trees & their energy transaction
    PDM 7 water
    PDM 8 soils
    PDM 9 earthworking & earth resources
    PDM 10 humid tropics
    PDM 11 dryland strategies
    PDM 12 humid cool to cold climates
    PDM 13 aquaculture
    PDM 14 strategies of an alternative global nation

    i shall be posting the materials by chapter for easier searches.
    please feel free to add websites, book titles, web videos, etc.

    green cheers! mabuhay! (philippine word for longlive)

    Other Global Issues

    Protests Fueled By Oil
    (Global Pulse: May 30, 2008) As the price of oil breaks new records, people worldwide are protesting the increases in their living costs. Now, politicians are responding, trying to come up with ways to ease the burden. Will tax cutting strategies work, or are they just an attempted quick fix for a problem that's not going away anytime soon? SOURCES: CCTV, China; Deutsch Welle, Germany; Fox News, U.S; ABC, U.S, NBC, U.S; BBC, U.K; Univision, U.S; TV5, France; Al Jazeera English, Qatar.

    Bird Flu, the Next Asian Disaster?
    (Global Pulse: May 16, 2008) In a matter of weeks, Asia has been hit with devastating natural disasters like the cyclone in Myanmar and China's earthquake. Thousands have been killed and millions left homeless. While millions suffer there is another possible disaster spreading throughout Asia, the H5N1 virus or "bird flu". More outbreaks of the virus are spreading from Russia to South Korea leading to quick quarantines and a fear that the virus will infect humans. SOURCES: BBC, U.K; Russia Today, Russia; NHK News, Japan; KBS News, South Korea.

    Oil, Gas - and Carrots
    (Global Pulse: May 8, 2008) While oil and natural gas prices are skyrocketing, the world's energy consumers are trying to find ways to reserve oil and gas for themselves. Now, energy rich countries are using their resources as political leverage: Iran is trying to sell it. Venezuela is trying to barter and trade, while oil hungry countries use different strategies to buy into Africa. SOURCES: ABC News, U.S.; BBC, U.K.; Press TV and Al Alam, Iran; TV5, France; Latino America Noticias, ; Asia Today, China; South Asia Newsline, India; Al Jazeera English, Qatar.

    Food Price Crisis
    (Global Pulse: May 2, 2008) Global food prices soar and the world's poorest people go even hungrier. Food riots fuel political crises in some nations. Rich nations pledge more aid. Will it be enough to stop what some world leaders call "a silent tsunami of hunger"? SOURCES: ABC News & NBC News, U.S.; BBC, U.K.; Al Jazeera English, Qatar; CCTV, China; 5 Day News, U.S.

    Desertification
    https://youtube.com/watch?v=RC0AwY56Zzw
    Desertification comes about by a complex interaction between the natural environment and human activities. The cause may vary from region to region on account of economic conditions, population pressure, agricultural practices, and politics. Human activities that destroys surface vegetation, degrades soil structure and fertility, impedes water infiltration and causes soil drying promotes desertification.

    Wow,

    makes anything I have posted pall into insignifigance.

    Well done to both of you. Maybe this needs a 'sticky' for our FAQ...
