Discover Sustainable Living

"The principle for permaculture is simple: provide back to the earth what we take from it to create a sustainable environment. The three principle aims are: Care for people; care for the earth; and redistribute everything surplus to one's needs."

This completely revised and updated edition of "Earth User's Guide to Permaculture" is a straight-forward manual of practical permaculture. Fundamentally, permaculture is design science and in this new edition design is emphasized. The book provides practical guidance on applying permaculture principles to the space where you live and work.

The same principles apply for becoming more sustainable and living lightly whether you live in a small city apartment with a balcony, in a house with a garden in the suburbs, or on acreage in the country.

Included in this new edition are chapters on seed-saving, permaculture at work, integrated pest management, information about domestic as well as rural water usage, a non-destructive approach towards dealing with weeds and wildlife, and designing to withstand a disaster.

By using permaculture principles, you'll feel happier and more productive as you care for the earth and people. The book provides solutions to glitches and hassle in modern living, giving you the tools to live more sustainably and reduce your environmental impact.

"Earth User's Guide to Permaculture" is suitable for beginners as well as experienced permaculture practitioners looking for new ideas in moving towards greater self-reliance and sustainable living.
