>Volunteer at a local farm, then learn about permaculture: The urban farm Earth-N-Us will offer a free permaculture introduction class this Saturday in exchange of a few hours of volunteer services (note that this workshop is sometimes offered at the farm for a few hundred dollars, so the deal isn’t bad at all).
