Permaculture is a cutting-edge approach to living that helps both people and the environment.
By cooperating with nature and her energies, we are able to design our lives, from backyards to neighborhoods, farms or even cities, to be more abundant, more long-lasting, more ethical, healthier for all life in the system, and more enjoyable.
This internationally respected Permaculture Design Course developed by Growth Permaculture™ is focused on giving you the tools to create a regenerative life, and a higher quality of life, through the basics of food, shelter, energy, water, health, nature, and community. It is a healthy mixture of theory, hands-on application, and group activities. Different learning styles are accommodated. The course will address strategies and techniques for both urban and rural areas in different climates and circumstances.
The training is designed to offer multiple opportunities including career mentoring and pathways, community building opportunities, resource networking, skill building, as well as what is for many, a life changing experience. We will offer written materials and study aids and exercises before the course and urge students to use them, as you will get much more out of the course.

The Media Environmental Advisory Council (EAC), Transition Town Media, Media Providence Friends School, Friends of Glen Providence Park, Media Arts Council, the Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia, and other great partners have teamed up to bring residents of Media and our neighboring towns the 2nd Annual Media Open Streets—a fun, family-friendly event that’s sure to get you out in the streets, moving in any way you prefer!
On Saturday, September 28, 2019, from 10am to 3pm, we’ll close down Jackson St. from 5th St to 3rd, 3rd St from Jackson to West St, down West to State St, and down State to Glen Providence Park. You and your friends and family can come out and play in the streets! Anything non-motorized is allowed—bicycles, strollers, wheelchairs, skateboards, roller skates, or just your own two feet! Of course, there will be food, vendor and information tables, fun activities, and music along the way, around Borough Hall (3rd & Jackson Sts), and at Glen Providence Park. We’ll supply a list of what’s happening where.
Come and experience the fun of strolling or biking the streets of Media without cars—it’s healthy fun for the whole family! Check out this video to see what it might look like. And check out our Facebook page for the latest updates!

Join with Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT) on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm.
After five years of action by Earth Quaker Action Team, PNC announced today a shift in its policy that will effectively cease its financing of mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia.
Together we have shifted the policy of the seventh largest U.S. bank! This marks a major turnaround for PNC, who for years refused to budge on this issue. After more than 125 actions, their desire to continue business as usual proved no match for EQAT and our allies.
As more and more banks stop financing mountaintop removal, we expect it to become increasingly difficult over the next few years for mountaintop removal coal companies to secure financing for their destructive operations. So, join us in thanking the people of Appalachia who continue to inspire us and take bold action.
Celebrate and share this news widely. Together we have shown that strategic nonviolent direct action makes a difference. EQAT will continue to keep an eye on PNC to be sure that it follows through with this policy change. We will be looking forward to the next campaign.
The Friends Economic Integrity Project of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting presents an evening on emerging movements – the Green New Deal, the Sunrise Movement, and the movement for public banking. These movements are beginning to knit a variety of race, climate, justice, and democracy issues together. Several local Friends will share how they are engaging at the intersection of these issues and bringing their faith values into the work. There will be an opportunity to reflect on what we can learn from these connections and how we might bring greater joy, clarity, faithfulness, and power to our engagement with this critical work in the world.
Presented by the PYM Friends Economic Integrity Project, including:
Pamela Haines, Central Philadelphia Meeting;
Ed Dreby and Margaret Mansfield, Providence Meeting;
Steve Olshevski, Radnor Meeting;
and a special guest from the Sunrise Movement.
