I like that permaculture is actionable

It's great that environmental videos and documentaries raise awareness about issues like: global warming, plastics in the ocean, vanishing coral reefs, destruction of the Amazon, and so on.

But it often seems that something is missing: what can we do about it? Practically nobody even addresses that. So you watch these documentaries and you just feel angry, and helpless, and frustrated.

Permaculture actually gives you a place to start. A plan where people can live differently, and thereby mitigate the environmental destruction. A way to find a network of people with similar interests.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it - meaningless drivel.

I agree with the principle. The endless angst of watching everything that is wrong is poison to the soul.

The personal act of putting a shovel in the ground is the antidote, to a degree. I can't fix the world, but I can fix my little corner of it. Take that, System!

I think it's amazing what you can accomplish by showing an example that works. Plant that big-idea seed.
