Permaculture in a Global Context

Notas do Editor

  1. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that there will be 150 million environmental refugees by 2050. The Institute for Environment and Human Security, affiliated with United Nations University, estimated the number of environmental refugees at 20 million in 2005 and predicted the number could be 50 million as early as 2010. http://www.climatechangecorp.com/content.asp?contentid=5871
  2. DR M King Hubbert - Shell Oil geophysicist in 1956 modeled peak oil production for lower 48. “Correctly predicted peak in 1970”
  3. Million tons of oil equivalent Liquid Fuels: Liquid fuels - nonvolatile, easily transportable, pipable without being under pressure, all of our transportation infra.
  4. Unit = quadrillions of british thermal units 1 is enough to heat 1 pound of water 1 degree F
  5. Holmgren is one of the founders of the ecological design system we’re trained in, but we’ll get to that later
  6. • The permaculture pie. All elements must be functionally interconnected. • Buildings must be living, functionally interconnected pieces of the whole system. • example: home - small scale • example: new low-rise. water catchment. rooftop forest gardens and aquaculture. aquaponics and farm-floors. local organic restaurant (forget foodmiles - let's talk foodfeet!). all waste treated on site with living machines. down to the next level of solar pumps. • example: Marbletown Green. • crazy? we need to push the edges of what's been done before. push the edges, but back to the center -- food, water, shelter, energy.
  7. --Ubiquitous in tropical world, likely predating annual crop agriculture by many millennia.
