Natural Building—Permaculture |

Permaculture
"Permaculture" is a term developed by Australian born Bill Mollison to describe a system of agriculture and living that balances with nature and is inherently sustainable. It helps to define zones of living and functioning in such a way as to lessen the inputs needed as one system feeds another..... Though not yet teaching Permaculture courses, EarthVoice is strongly committed to promoting the Permaculture principle of interconnecting all the various systems that support us: housing, food production, waste, water, heating/cooling etc. EarthVoice utilizes portions of Permaculture teachings in our Forest and Mulch Gardening classes as well as Natural / Regenerative building workshops being promoted through local community colleges and extension work. This approach to observing everything we do as "mindful" humans can definitely be more 'fun' in our dance through life. We then take our feelings of the sacredness of even the mundane to new heights. For more specific information on Permaculture (from other organizations) choose one of the following (do come back!): Permaculture at The Farm in Tennessee The Permaculture Activist Permaculture Links A little editorial.... "Everyone is Permaculture" (-anonymous quote from Permaculture discussion at a Turtle Island Bioregional gathering). This statement closely resembles the attitude that GBI promotes about the drawbacks of institutionalizing terms and controlling information that our world desperately needs........ |
