The National Heirloom Exposition

The Heirloom Expo, Sept. 13-15, 2011, Santa Rosa, CA.

"...Dr. Shiva founded the Navdanya, a movement to protect the diversity and integrity of living resources, especially native seeds.  Dr. Shiva's attention is now focused on preventing imperialism over life itself.  "I don't want to live in a world where five giant companies control our food and our health"

From the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center comes 'regenerative' a new & better choice than 'sustainable'.

Interesting.  The winds are changing.  Refining.

    I've heard "regenerative" in regards to landscapes for several years from water harvesting guru Brad Lancaster in Tucson - great concept.

    I only hope "regenerative" is not so easily hijacked for greenwashing as "sustainable" was. Maybe not, since regenerative seems to imply life, and one cannot have a project devoid of plants, with weed fabric, that will regenerate muhc of anything!

    The greenwashers may still figure out how to profit from false use of the "r" word, though.

    Guess you and I better use the "r" word often and well, to proactively counter the opportunists, before they learn to spell it...
