Sustainable Living, A new way to life, Rebuilding mother earth... Please check this out :)

These videos I find very inspiring. It has to do with a farm in Austria that is 100% sustainable. It is a farm of permaculture. There is no mono-cropping, no anything.

This farm is pretty much set up to forage. It has minimal negative impact on the environment, but such a large positive impact!

It is time we utilize the space we have. If we all work together, we can build mother nature strong enough to rebuild Herself!

Yes, moth. I feel the same way. This is how I plan to make a "career" in my life. I think it is absolutely beautiful and more people need to be aware!

That's why we need to spread the word of permaculture, so people can farm efficiently. It's a benefit for us and Her!

an evo village is where Free comes into play :). Remember the event on this site?

But, seriously I plan on starting my own PermaFarm, and maybe turning it into an EcoVillage. It would be fantastic. Let e know what you read in that book :)

I love your energy, it's very strong!

Thanks,

my obsession of natural living has taken me a long way and I am so surprised by myself everyday when I think of something I never thought I would...my plans have changed so many times from holistic nutritionist (that wouldnt work bc I dont get a thrill out of planning meals for people), then it went to start my own organic farm and educational program (that was more up my alley but not quite what I was looking for) now, I have been researching permaculture for about a year now not too in indepth but you know skimming the top off of information (tasting the recipe before it's done) and my mind just keeps on coming back to permaculture...and I just cant help but smile when I hear the word or see the word or see anything to do with permaculture! I am in love with the concept and ready to take that love forward...and the journey begins

what inspired you on permaculture?

Majority of my life I wanted to get into organic farming and be able to sustain myself off of my own land. I took a little hiateus when my brother wanted to start a family owned brewery (lol). The idea never struck a note with me, but I talked myself into loving it. I brewed for 2.5 years, and then found raw.

When I found raw, brewing just wasn't proper for me. It was too wasteful, too pollutive (to our bodies), and what not. So, I decided to get back into farming.

I've farmed on many farms, realizing that it is tough work to do by yourself. So I've always been concerned on how I would pull that off, wether it was through work exchange or whatever. Then, actually really recently, I truly discovered permaculture. I mean, I heard the name for a long time but never really knew what it meant. Untill one day, I was on 30bananas and watched a video I think free posted up. It was of a permafarm. I loved it. I started researching more and more and found all of Geoff Lawtons stuff, and then Bill Mollison. I realized right then and there, that this is what We need today. This is what I can do, to help out and love my life.

So that's where I am. BTW, THANKS FREE ;)

I know! That is true, I never really appreciated the importance of rocks. They obviously play a huge role in life, why else would it be there, but it never crossed my mind!
