I'm offering ad space for specific tools and products of value to Permaculture designers and teachers. I'm particularly interested in things made or sold by Permaculturists. I'm also open to including DVD's of music written and/or performed by Permies. Teaching tools, like slideshows, charts, etc., too.

Footprint is a playing card game about sustainability. Players try to minimize their ecological footprint by collecting color coded playing cards on four needs. Each need is fulfilled by four components. Each component has a point value. The goal is to create four packs with the lowest point value. As soon as someone has collected four packs, the game stops and everyone counts up the points on their cards.

In general, the closer to home you are able to find the components to make the product, the lower your score, and the better off everyone will be. Products from chain stores, worth 10 points, take money and skills out of the community and so have the highest point value. Wild cards, worth 8 points, are next because they are convenient to use. Products from local stores, worth 6 points, help build community. Having neighbor help neighbor, worth 4 points, build skills and teach the importance of community. Products we make ourselves, worth 2 points, are important because of the satisfaction that comes from creating and the ability that gives us to help others. (ages 8 and up) $24.95

Local artists and local businesses helped produce this game. We thank you for supporting their efforts.  BillPagum.com Products

Dura Light Freedom Shake Flashlight -
w/ Free LED Squeeze Light
$24.95 Sale $18.95
The Freedom Shake Flashlight uses innovative technology for producing electricity in the palm of your hand. Shaking the flashlight causes a magnet to pass through a copper coil generating electricity. A few seconds of shaking generates several minutes of power. 1 minute of shaking produces hours of light without shaking the flashlight again. Best of all, this flashlight is always ready for use no matter how long it has been stored. No batteries required. Twice the storing and charging power of the other "shake flashlights" on the market today. 10 seconds of shaking provides up to 10 minutes of light. You will not find a better shake flashlight for a better price.
