Permaculture Mailing list

This forum exists for individuals and groups interested in the study and practice of permaculture. It will prove to be a useful resource for those who choose to be involved with it. It will also be a handy tool for consultants, designers, writers and teachers of this discipline which was conceived and stewarded by Bill Mollison & David Holmgren with further development, expansion and refinement contributed by thousands more people over the years, from around the world, offering
their knowledge, skills and experience.

The first step is to educate and energize those who want to provide for themselves, live sensibly, live sustainably and renewably using systems that regenerate themselves. Use the bootstrap method or any other means of achieving their goal.We should seek to grow our own food, some of it or all of it and provide for others seeking high quality nutrition,
those who can grow their own and those who can not, by donation, sales, barter, consumer coop and marketing coop; the measure of a society is how well they take care of those in need and those who can not take care of themselves. This is what the permaculture third ethic seems to say.

Natural biointensive gardening and permaculture go hand in hand and provide the starting point, activities that generate interest easily and fill a need. Permaculture will prove to be a useful resource offering gardening, homesteading and farming as a means of achieving good health, self-sufficiency and independence. It can be practiced actively at home, throughout communities and bioregions by offering design tools for ecologically-oriented land use systems with integrated elements for synergy, sustainability, regeneration and enhanced nature-compatible human habitat. The integration of permaculture into one's lifestyle has the potential of providing self sufficiency, independence, lifestyle efficiency, taking responsibility for your own health and well-being, practicing medical self-help, personal sovereignty, active participation in all categories of local networking
and community building and local renewable energy, water conservation and land stewardship projects.
