What is Permaculture?
Bill Mollison Tribute
The co-founder of “Permaculture,” Bill Mollison, passed away in 2016. Red Beet Row was inspired by this man’s words and life’s work.
Here is a link to a speech Mollison gave in 1981 that is still chillingly relevant.
Here is a link to a video of both founders of “Permaculture,” explaining what it is.
“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
