Permaculture

To me permaculture is about sustainable living and has a core philosophy of co-operation with nature whilst caring for the earth and its people - its not just about gardening! Permaculture has been steadily spreading across the world from Australia for the past 30 years and I first learnt about it approx seven years ago and have been learning and incorporating it into my life since. Permaculture and the emerging Transition Town initiative look at the twin problems of Climate Change and Energy Decent, and see these global problems as an opportunity to design descent pathways which make people feel alive, positive and included in the process of societal transformation to the post oil society of the future. Read Rob Hopkins book 'Transition Handbook - from oil dependency to local resilience' and you will be inspired!
