So the PDC that we're teaching in West Virginia, we're going to be teaching ethics and how we live an ethical life. So we're going to teach the framework of permaculture, what permaculture is and how it can benefit you to be an ethical person and how you can benefit the world around you for many, many years to come. So a central teaching to permaculture is bioregionalism and how we enhance and build the region that we're from, how we create a more rich, a more diverse place where we are. It's really important to me that I see teachers from different locations starting to teach the people from those areas. So I'm really, really excited to support this PDC, to be involved in this PDC, because there are emerging teachers— and I personally think Kaleb Hanshaw is going to make an incredible teacher— that will be guiding you through permaculture and creating a better world because of it. So if you want a better world, if you are tired of how these systems are not performing, if you want to see this current system dismantled and you want to see a brighter, better a better future for you and the future generations, join this PDC. Join it today so you can see real-world change within the 2 weeks of you being there.
