Covering each of Holmgren’s principles continues to march forward as the discussion turns to making no waste. You are on a good track by downloading this Podcast rather than using a tape or compact disc to listen to it, but there is more that we can do and this show covers that in depth by applying the 5 Rs:
- Refuse
- Reduce
- Reuse
- Repair
- Recycle
to the many aspects of life including our lifestyle and material goods, landscape, and energy use. In that way we can better care for the Earth and continue to fulfill the ethics of Permaculture.
In the show I mention the idea of Upcycling. Here are a pair of sites with some interesting projects to try your hand at. Even if you don’t use them, I hope they inspire imagination and creativity on your part when you go to apply the Rs in your life.
