ljvfreerdie rated 5 months ago- We do need to try and leave the Earth in better shape than we found it. That is no small task

- "...However, permaculture entails much more than just food production. Energy-efficient buildings, waste water treatment, recycling, and land stewardship in general are other important components of permaculture. More recently, permaculture has expanded its purview to include economic and social structures that support the evolution and development of more permanent communities, such as co-housing projects and eco-villages. As such, permaculture design concepts are applicable to urban as well as rural settings, and are appropriate for single households as well as whole farms and villages."

- Some good links to other permaculture resources. I agree with the statement below, but having studied forestry I also know that cutting trees is not evil. I prefer not to, but look at the disasterous fires out west where no logging was allowed, no fires were tolerated. There needs to be balance in harvesting. many environmentalists curse pine plantations as monoculture, but it is the most effective way to satisfy our domestic consumer driven lifestyle. From the page: "Permaculture also acknowledges a basic life ethic, which recognizes the intrinsic worth of every living thing. A tree has value in itself, even if it presents no commercial value to humans. That the tree is alive and functioning is worthwhile. It is doing its part in nature: recycling litter, producing oxygen, sequestering carbon dioxide, sheltering animals, building soils, and so on."

- A fairly good overview of Permaculture. As far as I am concerned, this is the future of urban re-design. From the page: "Permaculture is about designing ecological human habitats and food production systems. It is a land use and community building movement which strives for the harmonious integration of human dwellings, microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, and water into stable, productive communities. The focus is not on these elements themselves, but rather on the relationships created among them by the way we place them in the landscape. This synergy is further enhanced by mimicking patterns found in nature."
