This weekend i went on a two day
Permaculture intro course with the Brighton Permaculture Trust
http://www.brightonpermaculture.org.uk/
. It was a great weekend, I learnt so much, got inspired and met some
lovely people. It's really great to know there are more and more people out there who
are into creating a more sustainable way of living. The course touched
on the basic principles of permaculture design - earth care, people care
and fair share. It's fascinating to see the connections and
possibilities of designing a complete system of living that with careful
planning and common sense can support itself with low impact on the
environment and maximum quality of life. It really struck me that in
order for a new system to work community is so important.
I want to learn more!
Bryn and Hedvig led the course, here is Hedvig's blog
