The Ripple Effect - Calgary Current is sponsoring a "Permaculture for Youth" workshop on Sunday April 22, in honor of Earth Day.

Join us for this free, interactive, and inspiring session where you'll learn the basics about Permaculture design and roll up your sleeves for some hands-on projects!

This event is being cross-promoted with Youth Central's Youth Week 2012. More details here. 

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.
