"Skills make people more human, and also more happy. Knowing how to do things for yourself is vitally empowering, especially at this point in history, when we have lost so much of what we used to know. A community full of folks who know how to grow food, make bread, keep bees, mend things, build things, a community that understands the importance of mutual support, of helping each other, of pooling resources, of sharing harvests…. who doesn’t want to live in a community like that? I sure do. And that’s permaculture for you. Thinking of the whole, and acting in a way that makes things better."
