PLOWBOY: You think it's possible, then, to reverse the damage we've already done? Do we still have the potential to extricate ourselves?

MOLLISON: Obviously so, since we've survived this far. We've got good genes! I mean, we must have descended from along line of right thinkers, or we wouldn't be sitting here. That's been the course of human history, you know: You think right or you're dead. So I believe we have the inherited capacity to think right, behave properly, and design a viable future for ourselves . . . we've just got to start drawing upon our marvelous inheritance.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Members of the team of permaculture design consultants are available for lectures, seminars, and training workshops all over the world. (Their travel expenses must be prepaid by the client, however.) Names of interested individuals and groups are now being taken in order to plan the designers' future trips to this country. For more information, contact the International Tree Crops Institute U.S.A., Inc., Dept. TMEN, P.O. Box 888-M, Winters, California 95694.

You can order Permaculture Two — for $10.95 postpaid ($11.61 in California) — from that same address . . . and Mollison's first book will also be available from the folks at the Tree Crops Institute after it's reprinted in early 1981. If you're interested in visiting Tagari or applying to work there, you should first inquire by letter. Write to Tagari, Dept. TMEN, P.O. Box 96, Stanley, Tasmania 7331 . . . but be advised that housing in the community is in very short suppl y, so you may — if you go there — have to arrange your own accommodations.
