World Class Environmental Visionary, Bill Mollison, Has Died

Joint press release from the Permaculture Association and Permaculture
Magazine


Australian educator, author and co-inventor of Permaculture, Bruce Charles
'Bill' Mollison, died on the 24 September 2016 in Sisters Creek, Tasmania,
and has been praised across the world for his visionary work.

Born 1928 in the Bass Strait fishing village of Stanley, Tasmania, Bill's
colourful life story included backwoodsman, academic, storyteller, lady’s
man, and to many just ‘Uncle Bill’, doing all these things par excellence.
Bill was co-founder, with David Holmgren, of the permaculture movement – a
worldwide network of remarkable resilience, with organisations now
operating in 126 countries and projects in at least 140, inspiring
individuals and communities to take initiatives in fields as diverse as
food production, building design, community economics and community
development.

Bill left much useful information and numerous words of guidance and
encouragement for those who will miss him most: “The greatest change we
need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale,
in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for
everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who
depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets,
not food and shelter.”

Growing up in Stanley, Tasmania he left school at fifteen to help run the
family bakery and before 26 went through the occupations of shark fisherman
and seaman (bringing vessels from post-war disposals to southern ports),
forester, mill-worker, trapper, snarer, tractor-driver and naturalist. His
lack of formal education gave him many learning opportunities in how the
real world works.

Bill joined the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organisation (CSIRO, Wildlife Survey Section) in 1954 and gained extensive
research knowledge. His time in the Tasmanian rainforests gave him the
founding structure for what became his life’s passion, Permaculture, the
idea that we could consciously design sustainable systems which enabled
human beings to live within their means and for all wildlife to flourish
with us.

After spell at the Tasmanian Museum in curatorial duties, a return to field
work with the Inland Fisheries Commission took him back to college in 1966
living on his wits running cattle, security bouncing at dances, shark
fishing, and teaching part-time at an exclusive girls’ school. Upon
receiving his degree in bio-geography, he was appointed to the University
of Tasmania where he later developed the unit of Environmental Psychology.
During his university period (which lasted for 10 years), Bill
independently researched and published a three-volume treatise on the
history and genealogies of the descendants of the Tasmanian aborigines.

In 1974, he with David Holmgren developed the beginning of the permaculture
concept, leading to the publication of the book, Permaculture One. He
became fixated on proving and promulgating what he saw as a world renewing
concept. Leaving the University in 1978, abandoning a secure academic
tenure at the age of 50 (an unheard of move) Bill devoted all his energies
to furthering the system of permaculture and spreading the idea and
principles worldwide.

He founded the Permaculture Institute in 1978, his ideas influencing
hundreds of thousands students worldwide. As a prolific teacher, Bill
taught thousands of students directly, and contributed to many articles,
curricula, reports, and recommendations for farm projects, urban clusters
and local government bodies.

In 1981, he received the Right Livelihood Award (sometimes called the
‘Alternative Nobel Prize’) for his work in environmental design. In recent
years, he established a ‘Trust in Aid’ fund to enable permaculture teachers
to reach groups in need, particularly in poorer parts of the world, with
the aim of leaving a core of teachers locally to continue appropriate
educational work.

Of all the accolades he received, however, the one he was most proud of was
the Vavilov Medal, in large part due to the tenacity, courage and
contributions of the award’s namesake, who Bill considered a personal hero.
Bill was also the first foreigner invited and admitted to the Russian
Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Bill came to the UK in the early ’80s, visiting city farms and early
permaculture projects, teaching courses and visiting the newly formed
Permaculture Association. His charismatic style drew large audiences and
led to a flurry of new projects and programmes.

We are helped in remembering Bill by his 1996 autobiography Travels in
Dreams. Typically he laughs at himself: “This book is a work of fiction:
most if not all of it is lies. Even the lies are imprecise reports of old
lies overheard.” He wasn’t universally liked. One reason being he was
committed to disrupting the status quo in it’s misguided and unfeeling
management. “First feel fear, then get angry. Then go with your life into
the fight.” He was eloquent about the need for peaceful ‘warriors’, as he
called them, to challenge the stupidity of ill-governance on a global
scale. Despite, or perhaps because, he was an iconoclast, he engendered a
global respect which will endure and grow as others develop his foundation
thinking.

He authored a number of books on the permaculture design system, the best
known being Permaculture: A Designers’ Manual, published in 1988, and often
cited as his most outstanding work. Bill collected solutions and his
Permaculture Book of Ferment and Human Nutrition, is an outstanding
compendium of traditional food storage systems from across the world. Few
could match his intellectual vigour or ability to recount stories that
thrilled and taught deeper lessons about our relationship with each other
and nature.

Bill asked: “Are we the public or the private person?” The truth of the
matter is that for all seasons we are both. Perceived as challenging, a
huge harvester of great ideas from around the world (and not always
crediting their sources), Bill was also a sensitive man, eloquent
raconteur, poet and appreciative of the poetry of others. He knew how to
provoke others to action, but also when to withdraw and let others carry on
the work. He paraphrased Lao Tzu: “True change is to so change things that
it seems natural to everybody but no-one knows who thought of it.” And:
“Our best will not be our children’s best.”

Bill’s legacy is that hundreds of thousands of past students have created a
worldwide network to take his concept forwards. In a world in which we are
acutely aware of our environment, its capacity and limitations,
permaculture design offers a systemic approach to meeting human needs which
respect those limitations and provide strategies to actively repair
ecosystems. The effect of Bill’s legacy will only grow as the world
recognises the urgent need to work together on environmental solutions.

Permaculture Magazine, North America <https://permaculturemag.org/> is
doing a big tribute spread in our next issue for Bill. We are hoping to get
short quotes from folks about Bill to put in the spread.

If anyone wants to leave a quote about him here in this thread, feel free.
