When you are doing work of value, people will support you in a variety of ways, not just money.

I’m going to argue here that the most accurate and least muddled way to think of permaculture is as a design approach, and that we are often misdirected by the fact that it fits into a larger philosophy and movement which it supports. But it is not that philosophy or movement. It is a design approach for realizing a new paradigm.

A culture disconnected from wild nature becomes insane.

I like to talk about the idea of design without design, where... we're creating the conditions for the things that we want to see happen rather than trying to force a particular set of outcomes.

Permaculture is not the movement of sustainability and it is not the philosophy behind it it is the problem-solving approach the movement and the philosophy can use to meet their goals and design a world in which human needs are met while enhancing the health of this miraculous planet that supports us.

Permaculture gives us a toolkit for moving from a culture of fear and scarcity to one of love and abundance
