Over the last few years, I have been trying to figure out a way to explain what permaculture is to those who have never spent the 100 hours for the basic course. Many people use the Holmgren statement of principles because they are easily found on the internet. But permaculture the way the main creator Bill Mollison taught it was much more tightly tied to ecological principles and those that impressed him about non-fossil fuel societies that lasted for millennia.
The attached is a slide presentation that I have been gradually improving over time. It shows the main ideas and their justification as I understand them. They may form an outline for a more extensive explanation on day. Please see the attached
