Permaculture

Village Wisdom Podcast

Permaculture and peaceful villages. How do they relate? Well, it’s all about sustainability, using what is in the environment and not overusing it and returning the abundance to the land and people. The three ethics of permaculture are:

1. Care of the Earth
2. Care of Species
3. Return of surplus to the first two

In this podcast I’m going over the basics of permaculture. It is so much more than farming or creating sustainable agriculture. The same principles apply to each and every one of us as we interact with the environment around us. We are part of the Earth. We are part of the sustainability. Creating a peaceful village that works in harmony with each other and the Earth has been a dream of mine since my college days.

After years of wandering I’m finally making that dream a reality. If it is to be then we must do it. Waiting on and depending on a government official or new policy will never work. It takes actually doing the work. It means interacting with others. Permaculture means working together to build the society of which we dream. It’s not going to be created by government officials. It’s going to be created by you and me.
