¿How do we ensure optimal resource use & best choice of materials, interventions & technologies? This is something so basic that it is quite common to fall into old habits, simply copy what others have done or (even worse) use the materials 'we like', those we are familiar with, or technologies we find pleasant instead of those which do, in fact, best fit the criteria of sustainability. In this class we look at the importance & thinking behind the hierarchy of resources & the scale of interventions, two tools amongst various which we use to ground our designs.

5. Cycles in PermaCulture Design Review Think Reflect Act Observe Design

6. PermaCulture? Definition of the scientific method: “ A systematic method of investigation for the knowing of observable reality , that consists in formulating inquiries about that reality, trying to find solutions to the problems in question.” Action Learning What type of solutions? Is it a Science?

8. Steps in the Design Cycle trying to find solutions to the problems in question 1. Observe (discover) 2. Think (dream) 3. Design -> Sustainable Systems 4. Do / Create / Start up (deliver) 1. Observe Results .. Re-design Design Process A VERY DYNAMIC PROCESS 1. 2. 3. 4. & never "finished" – all are designs in development

9. Doing Presentations A basic & important skill An Essential part of Facilitating Speaking in public is fun! Expressing ideas clearly is interesting Convincing others is very useful DESIGN your presentation Resources in the e-book Module 0 > Tools > 7. Presentations www.PermaCultureScience.org PRACTICE, practice, Practice!

10. Provide a good answer to the basic questions: What Who How Where When & Why Try impersonating a "sustainability detective"
