Permaculture is a system by which we can exist on Earth by using energy that is in constant flow, harmlessly, and by using food and natural resources that are abundant in such a way that we don’t continually destroy life on Earth. Every technique for conserving and restoring the Earth is already known; what is evident is that no nation or large group is prepared to make the change. However, millions of us ordinary, everyday people are starting to do it ourselves without help from political or other authorities.
Wherever we live, we can start to do something. We can start first by decreasing our energy consumption – we can actually live on 40% of the energy we’re now using without sacrificing anything of value. We can refit our houses and businesses for energy efficiency. We can cut our vehicle use in many ways. We can save and recycle water. We can make small steps to start our own food production. This can mean either growing our own or buying food from more local producers.
We offer a Permaculture Design for homes wanting to set up a permaculture garden. After a basic design, we also offer permaculture and other garden installations, plus soil, seedlings and ongoing support.
