permaculture

[Holger Hieronimi <holger@tierramor.org>]

While I still believe in the validity of (most) of the original principles,
they make mostly sense when you design a site
and it`s often difficlult to apply them in other other domains of 
PC-related action
(economy & finance, education, community, health...)

However, the principle of "Energy Cycling" features a termodynamic 
error, we should really refomulate that one

You CAN cycle materials & nutrients in a system, but you CAN´T cycle 
energy, which is allways subject to entropy

personally, I like mor Davids set of principles, allthough they are 
probably not something for beginners
