"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."

teaching staff for Culture's Edge, designer/consultant with
Patterns For Abundance consortium, previously director of

"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
