The Way of Permaculture
Tribal People’s Ancient Way of Life: the Cure for a Dying Civilization
As the green movement gains in popularity, it’s obvious that attitudes have changed. We are opting for sustainability in our lifestyles — recycling, using energy efficient everything, buying organic foods, growing sprouts and feeling good that our efforts will help save the planet. But without a more inclusive and holistic endeavor, these small (though valuable) gestures may prove to be too little, too late.
In this new age and time we must now learn how to become even greener and to live sustainably…our future depends on it. We can all incorporate simple sustainable practices into our lives: planting trees, riding bikes or walking to work, buying locally grown produce, keeping chickens and baking our own bread. We can learn about composting and designing a beautiful and nourishing herb garden. We can teach our children by setting an example and having them participate in our new ways of life.
In this way our contributions toward greening up will be more than stop-gap measures. We have begun to look something like the Little Dutch Boy, plugging the holes in the ever-weakening dike of our global climate systems and eco-structures. But if we truly adopt a permaculturist approach, we can to start to lower rising atmospheric levels of CO2 down below the red zone.
There is indeed reason for optimism—if we embrace a dynamic and radical change. The first line of defense for the preservation of our earth is to replenish, restore and revitalize our food and water systems. But this implies a personal change for each of us in the way we approach our entire way of life.
This is why I promote a sustainable way of life that is in accord with nature and with science: the way of permaculture.
Permaculture is a modern reinvention of Tribal people’s ancient practice of living harmoniously on and within the land.
Permaculture or permanent agriculture is a lot like the way that native peoples have always lived. They integrated the plants and animals indigenous to the land upon which they dwelled. They cultivated crops as food sources and created living structures and systems that harmonize the natural landscape around them, integrating and blending organically with their environment. This ancient way of life represents a beacon and a blueprint for our own collective and individual return to sustainability.
Permaculture shines a light on the horizon of technology as advances in agriculture have opened up a kind of neo-cultivation. Civilization’s best influences have made it possible to use more efficient methods of food production. But with a permaculturist approach, modern methods harmonize science and nature–sustainably.
Global warming caused by the overuse of fossil fuels is trigging a series of cataclysmic weather events that have already destroyed lives, threatened species and ruined landscapes and oceans. These events alone have made it obvious that we have to make big changes or go the way of the dinosaur and face extinction.
Other abuses that humankind has imposed upon mother earth have sent eco-systems spiraling out of control. We are facing the consequences of our careless treatment of our home and yet still we seem largely oblivious to the crushing blow we are dealing our planet. But we can and must embrace a way of life that will cure our dying civilization.
We cannot afford anything less than to take total responsibility, both collectively and individually. We need to change our indulgent ways. We have moved too far away from nature…now we need to return.
The way of permaculture is, I believe, the way to heal our culture, our earth and ourselves and to re-awaken our deepest, most innate selves.
