My reply that any effort to improve my impact was worthy. So just wondering what others thoughts were.

Stephen, but don't you think a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) equates to professional training? These courses cost a lot of money to take and result in permaculture certification, enabling people to offer consultation and permaculture design services.

This is as saying that a permaculturist is someone who is qualified as a permaculturist designer. Does it mean that if I am not able to design anything I can't live a permaculturist life?

I think CRIMPI would disagree or at least be a jumping off point on "what about this". I haven't attained permafection yet but am at least hoping to leave at least a ripple in the pond.

--Ross Mars, The Basics of Permaculture Design, (1996/2005)But to embrace permaculture you have to change because it requires you to look at your life and lifestyle from a different perspective. Graham Bell, well-known author and permaculture teacher and author from the Scottish Borders district, told me that "permaculture is not a destination, it is a direction". You don't suddenly "arrive" at some point to finally declare "I'm a permaculturist". It is a life-long journey of change and growth.
