To create a mess in which we perish by our own inaction makes nonsense of our claim to consciousness and morality

Permaculture creates a cultivated ecology, which is designed to produce more human and animal food than is generally found in nature.

Permaculture challenges what we're doing and thinking - and to that extent it's sedition.

There are only four things in all cleaners - whether it's shampoo, laundry detergent, whatever.You buy them in bulk and you mix them up properly, and they all work. It doesn't matter if they call the stuff ecologically friendly or have dolphins diving around on the label - it still has these damn four things in it. Anything else is just unnecessary additions to make it smell good or color it blue when it goes down the toilet.
