Hi,

This is amazing, my good mate Darren has put all his PC designs done over a decade for all to see.

G'day,

I'm slowly getting around to doing some of the things I've wanted to do for sometime: like putting a sampling of my plans and designs online for viewing.

You can find them at www.permaculture.biz/PCPlans.htm. I only have a couple done so far, though I have processed about 50 others for uploading hopefully over this weekend. I have lots of CAD standard designs that need to be processed as well.

Advanced apologies to those with dial-up connections. It is very difficult to compress AO aerial photo based plans down to dial-up friendly sizes. That said there are some files that are dial-up friendly. Perhaps I could put the file size of the plans on the thumbnails.

You are free to download the plans and use them, provided you acknowledge the source. There are a lot of very late nights wrapped up in these...

Ciao,

Darren J. Doherty

The Theme of the Conference will be: Greening our Economy with the Principles of Permaculture.    (Visit Program for more details.)

2007 Permaculture Conference & Convergence
Greening our Economy with the
Principles of Permaculture

Permaculture is an ecological design science for creating efficient, productive, and self-sustaining systems that serve human communities and evolve into dynamic and regenerative relationships with the surrounding environment. As such, the promise of Permaculture extends far beyond food production systems to our entire economy. How we can use the principles of permaculture to green the global economy will be the theme of the 2007 Permaculture Convergence in São Paulo, Brazil. By linking the Permaculture concept to the emerging field of green economics we can begin defining what a sustainable global economy might look like and how it can be practically adapted to ensure that human welfare and ecological imperatives are rooted at the center of the model. The theories and language of green economics provide sustainable policies with a compelling argument couched in the powerful language of money and economics.

The Conference will host international speakers who will present plenaries, workshops and case studies that are directed towards responding to the immediate challenges facing a world that must decide its course. Their work will highlight public policy requirements and the active participation of the business community necessary to encourage sustainable economies at the local, state, and national level. Successful banking strategies, business and innovations will be the three panels during which the themes of global environmental markets, micro-financing, green accounting, certification, complementary currencies and carbon credit exchange will be presented.
