Earth Care, People Care, and Fair-share
The concepts introduced by DQ and the knowledge I have gained in my own profession (Geology, Geoscience, or Earth Systems Science) have let me to solutions I think work for me as I think about my future, my families future, and the future of many bioregions.
I think Permaculture Principles and Practices, carbon farming solutions, and neo-tribalism is ONE way human will find as a way to live moving forward from the Great Acceleration.
DQ was solicited to write a segment in this book (you can read about this at the Ishmael site), which has inspired him to dedicated a full chapter of his in progress--The Invisibility of Success--book to Permaculture. I am excited to read this.
There are many, many, many great resources out there on Permaculture. Many books, websites, articles, institutions of learning and teaching, podcasts and most importantly many PEOPLE working with these principles to regenerate land.
I like these ones, though such a list is hard to compile because it leaves out so many!
