What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is a holistic design process, using ecology as a basis for designing integrated systems: food production, community, economics, housing, with an embued ethic of caring for the earth, caring for people and sharing the surplus. That's asking us to limit our consumption and design for abundance and then share that abundance with each other.
We can also apply the principals to design our life. Using thoughtful observation look at your daily practices. What elements contribute to a healthy life and which do not? Waste= food. What areas of your life are there wastes? How can they feed into another system?
This is not just organic gardening, it's the garden of our lives. Understand how nature works and then apply it to our lives. Cleaning waste water. Experimenting with alternative fuels. How can we change the patterns of our behavior to match nature's systems?

SWAP MEET
Transition Anchorage did a swap meet on Wednesday and it was very fun, albeit small. I got a GREAT necklace and a puzzle. :-)
I suggest we do it again with permaculture and transition and who ever else wants to come. If it's really big, you get a ticket when you walk in with the # of items you brought and you check out with that same ticket leaving with the amount you came with or less.
We could also organize without meeting by posting on SWAP.COM. If you go…
