~a place to make places better~
.
..the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens.
If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. 
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter.” – Bill Mollison
Hey all you permies in the blogosphere my name is Evan, I’m 24, I live in wonderful Olympia WA, and I’m the lead editor of punk rock permaculture e-zine. I have a passionate love for permaculture, street art, guerrilla gardening, cooking veggie food, folk punk, harmonica wailin’, and riding bikes with friends. I’m currently finishing my BA with emphasis on visual arts, creative writing, and ecocity development at The Evergreen State College. In the Spring of 09′ I received my permaculture design certification under the instruction of the lovable Scott Pittman of U.S. Permaculture Institute. Gaia Punk Designs is a permaculture design co-op I’m working on with some close friends.
In Olympia I work locally with Terra Commons, Ecocity Olympia, the Cascadia Guerrilla Gardening Brigade, and the Raccoon arts collective on community projects.
My intention for this blog is that it will act as link between the personal and communal showcasing examples of all the beneficial work being done for the earth around the world. This is a e-zine about a regenerative culture full of resistance and inspiring creativity. Anyone is welcome to become a syndicated submitter and add relevant posts, articles, art, stories, media, and even poetry to this blog just email thejulianeffect@gmail.com with the subject:
“Punk Rock Permaculture”
