Permaculture, a design system that seeks to create  sustainable living 
systems, is a field where much ecopsychological philosophy  can be applied...
 
Once people gain an “ecopsychological” view of the world, many become  
interested in learning how to practice permaculture in all aspects of their  
lives. For some individuals it may be just simply recycling their waste every  
week; for others, it may be completely changing the value system that they 
live  by and creating a new cultural way of life. Anyone can practice 
permaculture, in  the way they garden, how they design their house, or just simply 
by being more  conscious of the choices they make every day concerning 
food, energy, and water  use. An ecopsychological view of the world sees the 
intimate  relationship between the earth’s health and human health, both of 
which are  enhanced by permaculture. 
One must be centered, emotionally and mentally clear, to fully grasp the 
new  paradigm of permaculture. From that place of awareness and intention, it 
is much  easier to learn the related practical skills.
