“Permaculture is Visionary”

[Design Science is] the effective application of the principles of science to the conscious design of our total environment in order to help make the Earth's finite resources meet the needs of all humanity* without disrupting the ecological processes of the planet.

--- R. Buckminster Fuller
* I would here subsitute the term "humanity" with "life"

We're currently accepting land to be the focal points of our Community Anchors program. We will be creating a functional forest garden, and implementing our most ambitious demonstrations and designs, teaching and learning from the community as we go.

A must for folks interested in how to ramp up our urban food systems. Peter Bane, one of the world's leading advocates for permaculture and local food systems, will speak on how permaculture can help build healthier local economies and the people they serve. A longtime permaculture practitioner, teacher, and editor of Permaculture Activist, Peter served on a Peak Oil taskforce that recently produced a report commissioned by his hometown of Bloomington, Ind., on how to dramatically multiply the number of local food producers and processors.

Biochar, an ancient technology invented by Amer-indians, could help solve some of our most pressing environmental challenges at both the global and local scale. Biochar has the ability to sequester incredible amounts of carbon in the soil, create nearly permanent fertility and structure in even degraded soils, bind pollutants, cleans water, generate clean fuels, and many other benefits that will be discussed.

Hello Everyone,

Check out the link here: http://resources.greentri.org/designmodules.pdf or under the Resources page for our Design Modules, a kind of mini pattern book for designing our urban spaces.

We envision this resource, which is under continual development, as a way to prime our design decisions as we recreate our landscapes for resiliency.

The Green Triangle is a social-profit (nonprofit) education organization based in Cleveland, Ohio. Our mission is to create social, economic, and ecological sustainability through permaculture design principles. In short, we propose a holistic revisioning of urban and suburban land use strategies that will respect and uphold our rich natural systems.
