Description from the Facebook Event Page (https://www.facebook.com/events/314561168575687/ ):

"Permaculture is an approach to designing human settlements and agricultural systems that is modeled on the relationships found in nature. It is based on the ecology of how things interrelate [vague] rather than on the strictly biological concerns that form the foundation of modern agriculture. Permaculture aims to create stable, productive systems that provide for human needs; it's a system of design where each element supports and feeds other elements, ultimately aiming at systems that are virtually self-sustaining and into which humans fit as an integral part."

Statement From Occupy Buffalo

"January 2011 - Justice Dialogue"

"We, the Occupy Buffalo Movement have come together to resist the injustice of the corporate domination of our political institutions.  Toward the end of changing these institutions so they are more responsive to our needs, we invite citizens of various levels of education (from eminent professors to earnest students) to contribute to and benefit from an on-going public discourse on the broad subject of justice.  We believe that the democratic process that the Occupy Movement has adopted carries great moral authority in its openness to all voices, its orientation towards peaceful relations, and its commitment to a pragmatic consensus.  However, our democratic process stands in need of knowledge and a vision of our common well-being.  This justice dialogue is dedicated to sharing our collective knowledge and developing a shared vision of a better future for all of us."
