Embracing Permaculture Principles and Learning to Listen

          Achieving sustainable development is the most important challenge facing all humans on this planet today.  Collectively we are living in a very unsustainable manner.  There are so many factors involved that we need to attempt to approach the situation from all angles; from a whole systems approach.  This means considering the economic factors, the cultural and societal factors, the political factors, the environmental factors, and of course present and future human needs.
