Permaculture design brings our lives back into participation with the Earth.
Permaculturists and other environmentalists warn of global destruction unless
we learn to live with the Earth rather than continuing to prey upon her.
Permaculture trusts that the Earth shows us solutions to halt the destruction of the biosphere
while sustaining ourselves in wholesome and fulfilling ways.

Permaculture Information Net - The Permaculture Information Net is a new feature of this web site intended to encourage visitors to contribute to the
information available to the permaculture community. We are not soliciting opinions. Rather, we are encouraging people to share documented facts.

You may also share your perplexities. You are invited to submit them to us for consideration for posting on this site. These should be questions not readily
answerable by commonly available publications, related to permaculture design, and of general application. For example, do not submit a question such as
How do I figure the right amount of ventilation for a solar greenhouse. The answer is more or less common knowledge.

Contributors who submit documented facts will receive a copy of all the replies that we regard as useful. If we resolve a question, the material will also be used
in an article in our journal and/or as supplemental data on our web page. We will post relevant replies on this site, as well, with credit. I reserve the right to edit them.
At some point, we will expand the acceptable topics to design strategies as well as facts. For Mother Earth, Dan Hemenway
