What Is Permaculture?

"Focused on meeting basic human needs in an environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable manner, permaculture branches out from creating ecological landscapes that produce foods, to include mindful land-use and community planning."

"It is seen as the answer to activism, and a series of upcoming locally organized instructional events…are designed to provide individuals with tools to affect changes through their own existence."

"...permaculture can be practiced by people in all walks of life â€" just by supporting local business, creating an apartment balcony garden that doubles as a bird habitat, using vermiculture (worms that compost food scraps) to reduce waste, planting a vegetable garden or edible landscaping, catching rain water, building a compost pile, or participating in community-supported agriculture."
