permaculture

[Bob Waldrop <bob@bobwaldrop.net>]

I would add that it is always best to live a life that cares for people, 
the planet, and the future, so that one's permaculture teaching work 
organically grows out of a life lived "well-permaculturally". Maybe that 
should have been "permaculturally well." I hope the concept is obvious: 
those that would teach, must also do.
