We are PERMACULTURISTS NOT PERMACULTURALISTS. The latter is redundant, cumbersome, and one syllable longer than necessary. Its already a long word. We might as well say permaculturistists. We can speak of matters permacultural but we practice permaculture, and do things permaculturally. Perhaps we should rename the mag the Permacultural Activist.
So what is the adjectival form of permaculture? permaculturely or
permaculturally?
I like the former.
