*Suburbia occupies a central place in our economy and way of life. Half 
of Americans live in suburbia and it generates tens of millions of jobs. 
Suburbia can also claim ownership for a large share of climate change, 
resource depletion, environmental and public health degradation, global 
instability and culture in decline.*


*These two presentations will show how suburbia can be transformed from 
a liability of historic proportions to become an immense tool for 
civilization repair.*


*Both presentations focus on suburbia, the seminar will go into greater 
detail and include a tour of Jan's ¼ acre suburban property in the River 
Road Neighborhood in Eugene. The presentations will make reference to 
important models of transforming suburbia in Port Townsend, Wa; Davis, 
California and numerous places in Eugene.*


*Key Words – home economics, permaculture, neighborhood, front yard 
garden, work party, multiple benefits, local economics, block planning, 
neighborhood mapping, human potential*


*Jan has been transforming his ¼ acre suburban property for over ten 
years. Its a good story but its only the start. The presentations will 
include many fotos that will show how all the tools and models for 
transforming suburbia already exist.*
