Permaculture Perspectives

Nature has an operating system: OS Gaia. Permaculture draws from traditional and modern understandings about the principles upon which our Earth is designed. Nature is a pattern language, it’s a program made of design code with so much to teach us. The ability of our ecosystem to live without creating waste or destruction and regenerate itself is the secret of nature’s success on this planet. The great permaculture maestro Larry Santoyo notes that “principles are indicators of sustainability”. We can see what principles are already in play within our design system and reinforce or replicate them. We can integrate more principles into our redesigns and retrofits, to increase the regenerative capacity of our system. The micro-set is a wing of the Permaculture Principles Design Deck sharing concepts Rosemary Morrow calls Attitudinal Principles. These design principles share approaches, attitudes and attunements to help you upgrade your home, garden, life, landscape and work.
