Hello Makers!<br><br> I have two opportunities for you in classes with appropriate technologies design & permaculture. To define, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriate_technology" target="_blank">appropriate technology design</a> is the use of technology to allow a community to become self-reliant; e.g. using local resources and skills to implement and sustainably operate a setup for basic resources and income. Some examples are <a href="http://www.sifat.org/apptech.html" target="_blank">here</a>. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture" target="_blank">Permaculture</a> is the design of agriculture to mimic natural ecosystems to form a stable, self-sufficient means of production. <br>
The appropriate technologies design class will be conducted on-site at <a href="http://www.sifat.org/" target="_blank">SIFAT</a>'s campus in Lineville, AL with the local chapter of <a href="http://www.uah.edu/student_life/organizations/ewb-uah/" target="_blank">Engineers Without Borders</a>. It will be an all day weekend course that we are tentatively planning for late August. We will confirm a date after 8/20. If you are interested in attending please inform Justin Wetherwax (<a href="mailto:jwetherwax@gmail.com" target="_blank">jwetherwax@gmail.com</a>) as to the time you would like to attend and how many people you will be bringing.</div>
</font></font></font></font></font></font></font> The permaculture class, "Backyard Permaculture Series" will be 3 series of classes this fall. The first class of the series will be on September 10th. It will be held at Michele Sneed's (<a href="mailto:michelesneed@aol.com" target="_blank">michelesneed@aol.com</a>) farm at 414
Voekel Rd, Huntsville 35811. <span style="font-size:13px">For
