My introduction to ISSP: Hello ISSP colleagues and friends. 

I publish Whole Life Times: journal of holistic health & sustainable living, which is a free subscription e-magazine – https://wholelifetimes.org/subscribe/ – which I began in 1982 after working closely with Dr Bill Mollison, co-originator of Permaculture for a few years, 1977-1983 – see https://denis-mccarthy.com . In 1980 I was awarded a Diploma in Permaculture Design and in 1981 the Permaculture Institute of Australia’s first Community Service Award, which I shared with Max Lindegger, a fellow Permaculture Designer. In 1982 I began Whole Life Times and published articles on permaculture and related topics. Few people realize or appreciate that Bill Mollison was one of the first authors to use the word “sustainable”, for example on the back cover of his 1978 book Permaculture One: A Perennial Agriculture for Human Settlements he defined permaculture as “A Revolutionary approach to agriculture, combining landscape design with perennial plants and animals, to make a safe and sustainable resource for city and country.”. 

In 2022 Whole Life Times went electronic and readable online and in 2023 we published articles sustainability-related based upon interviews with Prof. Martin Green (photovoltaics), Prof. Ali Saigh (renewables, founder of W.R.E.N.), and several others. These sustainability-related articles were so well received that I decided to launch a regular section called “Leaders in Sustainability” and I hope to include members of ISSP in future issues, with a little help from members in recommending ISSP individuals or organizations we could publish an article on that would also be well received and add value to our readers lives. To this end, I invite you to contact me at denis (at) wholelifetimes.org . I also invite you to subscribe (free) at https://wholelifetimes.org/subscribe/ and read a few past issues and special editions at https://wholelifetimes.org/current-issue/ and https://wholelifetimes.org/se/ respectively.

I am convening a free online event 20-21 April 2024 called Gaiarcadia Summit – link is https://gaiarcadia.org/summit/ with 45 world leading thinkers in sustainability, shifting paradigms to an eco-centric paradigm, etc, with five 2-hour sessions each day, one of which is called Sustainable Cities & EcoVillages and includes the co-orginator of permaculture David Holmgren and several out outstanding speakers. The program is at https://gaiarcadia.org/summit/program/ and the whole event will be recorded, so if you miss sessions like the one titled Sustainable Cities & EcoVilages you will be able to view it on Vimeo for a small annual fee. But as of today it is not too late to register. Go to the link https://events.humanitix.com/gaiarcadia-summit-2024 or click on the image below.

Looking forward to being connected to you all through ISSP and hopefully also through Whole Life Times.

Best wishes, Denis 11.03.2024
