"As a system of design, Permaculture provides a new
                                  vocabulary for observation and action, attention and
                                  listening, that empowers people to co-design homes,
                                  neighborhoods, and communities full of truly abundant
                                  food, energy, habitat, water, income, and yields enough to
                                  share."

     "The ultimate end to a growth economy is the same as an analagous growth: cancer. But
     for national economies, the victims are nature, soils, forests, people, water, and quality
     of life. 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" Bill Mollison
