Zone 00: Right Intentions, Wrong Term
"One of my pet projects is to clean up the ambiguities and logical
inconsistencies that weaken permaculture terminology. Today I take
aim at the term Zone 00, used to mean either the designer or user of
a permaculture design, or their inner state. It’s a concept spawned
by good intentions, but calling it a zone is logically inconsistent,
redundant, and worst of all, has no design use. The designer’s mind
is a crucial influence, but it’s not a zone. If it’s an influence
on a design, that makes it a sector, right? (If you just slapped your
forehead and said “Doh!” then you need read no further.) So
let’s stop using the term zone 00."
Enjoy!
