I've been wanting to blog about permaculture ever since I signed on with Live Green, Live Smart back in May. With projects on the landscaping side of things beginning to take shape and a complete landscape plan including many permaculture principles as well as a fully implemented permaculture garden it is finally time I begin that process.
I'm interested in a detailed, in-depth, involved discussion and exploration of the design principles of permaculture and their power and pontential hope for our future. To that end I'm going to start a series of posts outlining what permaculture is.
Many of us are interested in ways we can help "save the world." The end of every book, documentary and website on environmental issues always includes a "what you can do" section. Permaculture offers something more powerful than a recycling program, more substantial than turning the water off while brushing teeth, or more effective than changing to CFLs. This is a different way of looking at the world around us. If you, like me, are tired of being "against" things in this world, against global warming, against social injustice, poverty, corruption and greed then read on and discover something to be "for" that could change the world but more importantly might change you.
