April 22 is Earth Day! Earth Day is an annual celebration to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s natural environment. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year.
While there’s a good argument to be made that every day should be Earth Day, many community groups now celebrate Earth Week, an entire week dedicated to environmental issues.
This Earth Day 2012, the Calgary Current will be sponsoring a Permaculture For Youth workshop!
What is 'Permaculture'??
Permaculture is a sustainable design practice rooted in the patterns of nature. Stated simply, the practice of permaculture pulls the greatest possible value from the smallest possible expenditure of resources. Predicated on a deep, abiding respect for all forms of life, permaculture embraces care for the environment and care for people, while taking care to limit consumption and preserve valuable resources for future use.Read more about Permaculture here.
There is a growing permaculture community in Calgary, and we want youth to be a part of it!
