More quotes by Bill Mollison
The American lawn uses more resources than any other agricultural industry in the world. It uses more phosphates than India and puts on more poisons than any other form of agriculture.
Bill Mollison
If we lose the forests, we lose our only teachers.
Bill Mollison
What is proposed herein is that we have no right, nor any ethical justification, for clearing land or using wilderness while we tread over lawns, create erosion, and use land inefficiently. Our responsibility is to put our house in order. Should we do so, there will never be any need to destroy wilderness.
Bill Mollison
It is no mere coincidence that there is both an historic and a present relationship between community (people assisting each other) and a poverty of power due to financial recession.
Bill Mollison
I can easily teach people to be gardeners, and from them, once they know how to garden, you'll get a philosopher.
Bill Mollison
The only ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that of our children.
Bill Mollison
Permaculture is something with a million heads. It's a way of thinking which is already loose, and you can't put a way of thinking back in the box.
Bill Mollison
The agriculture taught at colleges between 1930 and 1980 has caused more damage on the face of the Earth than any other factor.
Bill Mollison
Pollution is an unused resource.
Bill Mollison
When the idea of permaculture came to me, it was like a shift in the brain, and suddenly I couldn't write it down fast enough.
Bill Mollison
If people want some guidance, I say, just look at what people really do. Don't listen to them that much.
Bill Mollison
When you get deep ecologists who are philosophers, and they drive cars and take newspapers and don't grow their own vegetables, in fact they're not deep ecologists - they're my enemies.
Bill Mollison
We have to let nature put what's left together, and see what it can come up with to save our ass.
Bill Mollison
I could never teach people to be philosophers - and if I did, you could never make a gardener out of them.
Bill Mollison
Sitting at our back doorsteps, all we need to live a good life lies about us. Sun, wind, people, buildings, stones, sea, birds and plants surround us. Cooperation with all these things brings harmony, opposition to them brings disaster and chaos.
Bill Mollison
Type 1 Error: When we settle into wilderness, we are in conflict with so many life forms that we have to destroy them to exist. Keep out of the bush. It is already in good order.
Bill Mollison
Few people today muck around in earth, and when on international flights, I often find I have the only decently dirty fingernails.
Bill Mollison
You can't cooperate by knocking something about or bossing it or forcing it to do things.
Bill Mollison
I believe humanity is a pretty interesting lot, and they're all really busy doing and thinking interesting things.
Bill Mollison
Why is it that we don't build human settlements that will feed themselves, and fuel themselves, and catch their own water, when any human settlement could do that easily? When it's a trivial thing to do?
Bill Mollison
