A really failing society has a lot of rules (or laws). Bill Mollison More Quotes by Bill Mollison More Quotes From Bill Mollison The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter. Bill Mollison gardenchangefood Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple. Bill Mollison problemsimpleworld The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to lose economic and political control over them. We should cease to look to power structures, hierarchical systems, or governments to help us, and devise ways to help ourselves. Bill Mollison governmentsimplereality There is one, and only one solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world, and train all our young people to help. They want to; we need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience. Bill Mollison waterhandspeople Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people providing their food, energy, shelter and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. Without permanent agriculture there is no possibility of a stable social order. Bill Mollison agricultureecosystemsorder It’s a revolution. But it’s the sort of revolution that no one will notice. It might get a little shadier. Buildings might function better. You might have less money to earn because your food is all around you and you don’t have any energy costs. Giant amounts of money might be freed up in society so that we can provide for ourselves better. So it’s a revolution. But permaculture is anti-political. There is no room for politicians or administrators or priests. And there are no laws either. The only ethics we obey are: care of the earth, care of people, and reinvestment in those ends. Bill Mollison politicallawpeople We're only truly secure when we can look out our kitchen window and see our food growing and our friends working nearby. Bill Mollison kitchengrowinglooks I teach self-reliance, the world's most subversive practice. I teach people how to grow their own food, which is shockingly subversive. So, yes, it’s seditious. But it’s peaceful sedition. Bill Mollison practiceselfpeople Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system Bill Mollison thoughtfulanimalphilosophy The only ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that of our children.

Bill Mollison knowsmen We are sufficient to do everything possible to heal this Earth. Bill Mollison sufficienthealearth Sitting at our back doorsteps, all we need to live a good life lies about us. Sun, wind, people, buildings, stones, sea, birds and plants surround us. Cooperation with all these things brings harmony, opposition to them brings disaster and chaos. Bill Mollison good-lifewindlying Permaculture principles focus on thoughtful designs for small-scale intensive systems which are labor efficient and which use biological resources instead of fossil fuels. Designs stress ecological connections and closed energy and material loops. The core of permaculture is design and the working relationships and connections between all things. Bill Mollison thoughtfulstressfocus The worst thing about permaculture is that it's extremely successful, but it has no center, and no hierarchy.
