“In
1978 there was nothing quite like Permaculture. Twenty-eight years later
Permaculture laps the globe, with over 4000 projects across 120
countries. Australian biologist Bill Mollison, founder of the
Permaculture movement, has taught and developed projects from the Arctic
through Sub-tropics, and Equatorial regions on the planet. He has been
named Australia's "Man of the Year", and in 1981 received the
prestigious Right Livelihood Award. There are few countries left in the
world where he has not planted the seeds of Permaculture”.
Join Santa
Barbara Permaculture Network for an evening of three films featuring Bill
Mollison, his life and work. In 1997 Bill Mollison came to California
teaching a course in Ojai, CA, initiating a ground swell of interest that
helped create many local organizations, such as South Coast Permaculture
Guild, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network, the Ojai Institute, San Luis
Obispo Permaculture Guild, Santa Cruz Permaculture Guild and others. Come
hear the history of Permaculture and celebrate 10 years of Permaculture
in Santa Barbara.

- In Grave Danger of Falling Food
: Earliest permaculture flick,

agriculture with Permaculture's proposal of a different system, one that

An Australian Biography: Bill Mollison the Man, complex in
nature, brilliant in contributions, what makes him tick?
Permaculture is a design system based on ecological principles for
creating sustainable human environments, and is one of the most
holistic, integrated systems analysis and design methodologies found in
the world. Originally coined from the words PERMAnent
agriCULTURE, it has evolved to one of permanent or sustainable
culture with consciously designed landscapes that mimic the patterns of
nature.
