Silvana e Bruno tinham em casa um problema: a fossa estava vazando. Com criatividade, o esgoto se transformou em solução. Hoje, uma bacia de evapotranspiração, além de tratar as águas pretas da casa, está produzindo alimentos também.

Via Punk Rock Permaculture “Ellen Page Talks documentary “Vanishing of the Bees” on Bill Maher”
http://www.vimeo.com/16570483At last month’s SXSW film festival in Austin one of the highlights was Ellen Page’s superb performance in the new comics superhero indie movie Super. Not stopping for a moment to bask in the stellar reviews, Page is now promoting the documentary Vanishing of the Bees and went on Bill Maher’s HBO show last week to alert people to the serious problems that Colony Collapse Disorder creates for our food supply
The documentary film, Vanishing of the Bees, narrated by Ellen Page, takes a piercing investigative look at the economic, political and ecological implications of the worldwide disappearance of the honeybee. Directors George Langworthy and Maryam Henein present not just a story about the mysterious phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder, but a platform of solutions, encouraging audiences to be the change they want to see in the world.

Ali Sharif guides HRH Prince Charles on tour of Amazon permaculture institute: PAL – Permacultura America Latina
For instance, what made a lasting impact on me was a visit to the Permaculture Institute in the Amazon. In little more than a decade, this remarkable project has integrated agroforestry, aquaculture, and multiple animal systems within a restored landscape that had been utterly destroyed by deforestation. The whole now forms a Virtuous Circle within which all the necessary animal feed is grown and biofuels for the farm vehicles and machinery are produced. What is so deeply impressive is the practical way in which the Institute demonstrates how genuine sustainability can be achieved by applying the principles it has developed.

Sweeping an open hand towards the greenery of the local Permaculture Centre behind him, which teaches techniques for sustaining the forest, Charles says: “Coming here to Brazil has also presented me with a wonderful chance to listen and learn and try to get to grips with the complexities of these issues and for all the rainforest countries around the world.
