Permaculture • Think about the long term consequences of your actions. Plan for sustainability • Wherever possible use species indigenous to your project site, or those naturalised species known to be beneficial. • Design for small scale, energy efficient intensive systems, rather than large scale energy consuming extensive systems. • Design diverse, polycultural systems. • Use low energy environmental & biological systems to conserve & generate energy. • Bring food-growing back into cities and towns where it has always been traditional in sustainable societies. • Assist people to become self reliant, and promote community responsibility. • Restore fertility to the soil • Use everything at its optimal level & recycle all wastes. • See solutions not problems. Bill Mollison, Introduction to Permaculture. pp.3
