If you only do one thing, collect rainwater Picture Quote #1

Steps in total planning are roughly in priority: Picture Quote #1

We’re only truly secure when we can look out our kitchen window and see our food growing and our friends working nearby Picture Quote #1

I’d come into town from the bush - after 28 years of field work in natural systems - and become an academic. So I turned my attention to humans, much as I had to possums in the forests Picture Quote #1

Should we tamper with nature? is no longer a question - we’ve tampered with nature on the whole face of the Earth Picture Quote #1

I think we probably have a racial death wish. We don’t understand anything about where we live, and we don’t want to Picture Quote #1

I guess I would know more about permaculture than most people, and I can’t define it. It’s multi-dimensional - chaos theory was inevitably involved in it from the beginning Picture Quote #1

People do things which I find quite amazing - things I would never have done and can’t understand very well Picture Quote #1

I think Americans are so poor it’s pitiful, because you don’t understand the natural world at all Picture Quote #1

Permaculture offers a radical approach to food production and urban renewal, water, energy and pollution. It integrates ecology, landscape, organic gardening, architecture and agro-forestry in creating a rich and sustainable way of living. It uses appropriate technology giving high yields for low energy inputs, achieving a resource of great diversity and stability. The design principles are equally applicable to both urban and rural dwellers Picture Quote #1

There is one, and only one solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world, and train all our young people to help. They want to; we need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience Picture Quote #1

Type 1 Error: When we settle into wilderness, we are in conflict with so many life forms that we have to destroy them to exist. Keep out of the bush. It is already in good order Picture Quote #1

Stupidity is an attempt to iron out all differences, and not to use or value them creatively Picture Quote #1

Trees are responsible for 3/4 of all rains Picture Quote #1

If we lose the forests, we lose our only teachers Picture Quote #1

Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple Picture Quote #1

The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to lose economic and political control over them. We should cease to look to power structures, hierarchical systems, or governments to help us, and devise ways to help ourselves Picture Quote #1

Permaculture creates a cultivated ecology, which is designed to produce more human and animal food than is generally found in nature Picture Quote #1

Permaculture is a design system for creating sustainable human environments... Permaculture uses the inherent qualities of plants and animals combined with the natural characteristics of landscapes and structures to produce a life supporting system for city and country, using the smallest practical area Picture Quote #1

The only ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that of our children Picture Quote #1

Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system Picture Quote #1

We’re only truly secure when we can look out our kitchen window and see our food growing and our friends working nearby Picture Quote #1

Sitting at our back doorsteps, all we need to live a good life lies about us. Sun, wind, people, buildings, stones, sea, birds and plants surround us. Cooperation with all these things brings harmony, opposition to them brings disaster and chaos Picture Quote #1
