Permaculture Design
• The Harmonious integration of landscape and people to provide their food, energy, and shelter in a sustainable way.
Permaculture Design
• Combines Natural Building, Green Architecture, Renewable Energy, Appropriate Technology,Alternative Currencies, Waste Management, BioRemediation, Water conservation, Edible Forest Gardening, Soil conservation, Organic Agriculture, Community Living, and more into a coherent whole -- a complete system for designing truly sustainable homes, businesses, and communities.
