An Open Letter to the Permaculture and Transition Movements
Back in 2008, around the same time I was beginning my work as an intern with Transition Boulder County, the first official Transition Initiative in North America, I completed a 10-day Permaculture Design Certification Course at the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute in Basalt, Colorado. I had recently read The Transition Handbook: From Oil Dependency to Local Resilience by Permaculture teacher and international Transition Movement founder Rob Hopkins, and was eager to learn more.
Throughout the 12 years since, I have studied and practiced Permaculture and Transition together as a holistic and deeply-fulfilling way of life. Before I came across Permaculture, I had never grown a garden in my life. Now, I live in an intentional community I co-founded with four friends that has a perennial food forest entirely covering our front-yard, a pool-to-pond conversion out back, a community composting hub in one of the side-yards, a clothesline, bike shed, and earthboxes in the other, three egg-laying hens running around wild everywhere, solar hot water, rainwater catchment, a wide variety of culinary and medicinal herbs, and annual vegetables planted in beds and pots pretty much anywhere we can find space.
Likewise, before I came across Transition, I worked as a busser at a tea house and raised money from strangers for climate lobbying efforts on the street. Now, I serve as Assistant Director for Transition US, the national hub for the Transition Towns Movement, developing our training programs and supporting grassroots leaders throughout this country as best I can. I also currently sit on the Board of Directors for Transition Sarasota, the local Transition Initiative I founded in my hometown of Sarasota, Florida back in 2010.
I say all of this not to give myself a pat on the back, but to provide a practical example of how the Permaculture and Transition Movement can come together in one person’s life. From the very beginning, I have seen our two movements as both very similar and complementary to each other. Both are motivated by a vision of a relocalized, regenerative future and hold a common understanding of the complex social, economic, and ecological challenges we are facing at this time in history. Both share the ethics of earth care, people care, and fair share, and many of the same underlying principles.
While the Permaculture Movement has traditionally focused more on developing household-level and farm-scale demonstrations of living abundantly in harmony with nature, Transition has focused most of its efforts on transforming local systems of food, energy, economy, governance, care, and culture. By establishing victory gardens and gleaning projects, repair cafes and local currencies, local investment clubs and time banks, community-owned renewable energy companies and comprehensive plans, the Transition Movement has helped to proliferate Permaculture skills, ideas, and solutions at the community-scale.
As Rob Hopkins wrote in his Transition Handbook:
“One of the principal foundations of the Transition concept is permaculture […] In essence, it is a design system for the creation of sustainable human settlements. When designing the transition that our settlements and communities will inevitably have to undertake, we need a design template with which we can successfully assemble its various components – social, economic, cultural and technical – in the most efficient way possible. Permaculture can be thought of as the design ‘glue’ and the ethical foundations we use to underpin Transition work, to stick together all the elements of a post-peak settlement […] Permaculture principles underpin this approach, which is designed to mainstream its concepts, presenting them as fundamental to any response to energy descent.”
Online presentation about “Transition to Permaculture: Scaling Up for Community Resilience” I gave a few weeks ago for the Sustainable Kashi Community. Click on the image above to watch the recording on YouTube.
Because I know all of this to be true, I have made my own modest but persistent attempts towards fostering increased collaboration between our two movements over the past decade. I have now delivered more than a dozen presentations for various Permaculture groups and at Permaculture gatherings throughout the U.S. – including the Florida Permaculture Convergence, the Northern California Permaculture Convergence, and the North American Permaculture Convergence – many of which were focused specifically on encouraging greater collaboration. In 2011, I hosted the only Permaculture Design Course that has ever been taught in Sarasota, and in 2018, through my work with Transition US, I had the honor of presenting Permaculture co-founder David Holmgren with our first-ever Transition Ally Award.
Of course, this relationship between Permaculture and Transition is not the only relationship that matters: we also need to learn how to collaborate more effectively with other existing and emerging movements for local food and regenerative agriculture, a new economy and a just transition, climate action and intentional communities. Nevertheless, our relationship is a central one, one that can be mutually-beneficial and potentially help to change the world.
We could start very simply by talking more about each other and lifting each other up. We should continue encouraging Transitioners to learn more about Permaculture, practice it in their daily lives, and follow its principles in their work as catalysts for community-level change. Likewise, I believe we should be encouraging Permaculturalists to learn more about Transition, reach beyond their farm or homestead to engage their wider community, and collaborate with local Transition Initiatives where they exist. Transition Initiatives can and should help to promote Permaculture workshops and courses, organize tours of Permaculture demonstration sites, and collaborate with local Permaculture groups wherever they exist.
I know this is already happening in many communities throughout the U.S. and around the world, but I also know that we can do more. When I gave an online presentation a few weeks ago to around 40 members of the Sustainable Kashi Community – which is explicitly rooted in Permaculture – no-one on that Zoom call except for my friend Terry Meer had more than a basic understanding of Transition (and few had even heard of Transition before). In my experience, this is not entirely atypical.
Fundamentally, we are kin. Transition can be thought of as a branch on a tree that emerged out of Permaculture, which in turn emerged out of the great indigenous wisdom traditions of the world. Yes, there are many other branches, but we are directly connected. And hopefully, by blossoming together with all of the many other movements for social justice and environmental sustainability around the world, this tree of life will be able to provide shelter enough for all.

Fake greens. I have 2000 acres of hand-cultivated, perma-culture crops AND herds of animals in the ozarks, that I manage effortlessly from, and with, my iphone.
And when I am done doing that for the day, I spend the other 23 hours and 45 minutes, moderating and neutering juanpee’s stink off my forum here. And any other extremist fuckwaks that rub me the wrong way, with your FACTs, and LOGIC and rest of your stupid anti-American shit.
Which is all of you dumbasses. Except for you cloggo. You are nearly as brilliant and intelligent as I am. Except when you are being a stupid cloggo subhuman creep. Which is 99.999999999999% of the time.

Well said. One of the misconceptions of Permaculture is that it is a ‘garden’ rather than a holistic design system. When living systems (both ecological and social) are viewed in terms of interconnected functions, then we find that Permaculture principles can be used to design sustainable homes, farms, businesses, and cities.

One destructive aspect of the permaculture and localism movement is woke-politics. This is also true of the renewable and climate movement. The environmental sites I go to in search for good environmental strategies and renewable energy information are now sidetracked with Marxist woke-ism. The political capital for needed change just got hijacked by powers with little concern for the environment and instead the lust for power. Just when needed solidarity was being neared the divisive ident-politics stepped in to muzzle the real message.

Floating solar could be a good solution for densely populated countries. The Netherlands just completed the largest floating solar project in the world, outside China:
https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2020/07/03/drijvend-zonnepark-bomhofsplas-zwolle/
An optimal combination of solar and wind in the Dutch meteorological conditions could result in a fairly even supply of renewable electricity over the seasons, reducing the need for expensive storage.

Europe is a globalists shit hole managed by mentally challenged people.It is becoming more and more obvious now. Go to the World Economical Forum weforum.org and you will see what I mean by mentally challenged people living in la la land with their crap great reset plan.

Mexico (food) and Brazil (food). I think from there you are covered and we can decouple from Europe and the rest of the world. Let Europe have their globalists utopia that they love so much.

“Europe is a globalists shit hole managed by mentally challenged people… Let Europe have their globalists utopia that they love so much.”
In WW2 it was right-wing continental Europeans against globalist Anglos and Soviets, serving kosher interests. Unfortunately the latter won.
If Christian white people are to have a future at all the following preconditions must be met:
– dumping christian values after that the christian faith is already dead (in western Europe)
– getting rid of the US empire and its Anglo water carriers and a merger with Russia. CW2 and/or a beating by the Chinese would be tremendously helpful.
Absolute dummies like SRC don’t have a clue about anything, least of all about their own destructive historic role.
He also doesn’t understand the JQ. Not a hint.
Additionally he doesn’t understand that the demographic situation in Anglosphere is far worse than in continental Europe. East of Hanover everything is 95% white, up until the Ural mountains. In Poland, Africans run the real risk of becoming beaten up. In western Europe, Spain and Italy are not very diverse. The worst are London, Randstad area in the Netherlands, Brussels, Antwerp, big cities in France. Berlin is rapidly “catching up”. But that’s about it. Europe as a whole is still whiter than North-America has ever been throughout it entire existence. North-America won’t survive the coming onslaught in its present shape, Europe will.
Clueless worthless pieces of shit like SRC could me missed like the plague. If Canada is lucky it ends up being owned again by Britain and France.
This loon has one motivation only: piss Canada away to the Chinese at the earliest opportunity:

Yeah, well Macron just sacked his ministers and hired up socialists to turn Fance back into a communist basket case country where sheep farmers can go on strike and shut down cities and ‘students’ from Africa dont have to ever work. Yup, socialism has a big future in EU. Merkel is declaring the entire EU is open for the worlds refugees. Expect a mass invasion Cloggie/AvH whatever u call yourself. Bend the knee then bend over Europe.

“Yeah, well Macron just sacked his ministers and hired up socialists to turn Fance back into a communist basket case country where sheep farmers can go on strike and shut down cities and ‘students’ from Africa dont have to ever work.”
At least no statues are toppled in France, very much unlike Britain. France has a home-grown car industry. Britain? LOL France and Germany have Airbus that has beaten Boeing (but not Corona). France has a large white nationalist party for more than 40 years. Nothing like that in Britain, that is now keen to drag in 3 million Chinese and further dilute itself (that’s twice the trash Merkel let in, in her larger country). We’ll see who will be the basket case country after a no-deal Brexit.
“Merkel is declaring the entire EU is open for the worlds refugees.”
Complete BS. Yes she did let in 1.5 million trash, no doubt after being blackmailed by the European Jewish Congress.

Whatever, Europe has now effectively been sealed of, thanks to Greece and the Balkan states. Good luck with your 3 million HK Chinese, who will simply take over England, like they already did with Australia.
“Bend the knee then bend over Europe.”
Nobody “bends” in Europe, only weak-willed racism-howling Anglos do that, globalist beyond repair.
“I am happy to see that you hate me.”
I don’t hate you, for that I have to take you seriously, which I don’t. Just another anglo white n*gger, destined for the fall, which becomes immediately obvious from your continuous nihilistic, desperate posts.

That’s not true. The bending in europe is pretty enormous. If the europeans bend a little more their mouth is able to reach ground, making them finally able to lick negro boots.
The bending is already so enormous that europeans adapt to invader sludge opposed to requiring invader sludge to bend to european culture.
Europeans are one big society of benders. I’m wondering how they ever where able to rule the world, with so much bending?
Happy bending, if you’re european, please bend, it’s your duty. If your negro sludge, take advantage and make the european to bend some more, he likes it to bend.

joe esquire is rubbing his kosher hands.
The truth is, you can only apply for asylum in Germany if you physically can make it to that country. The trouble for Africans and Muslims is, the have to make it through very political incorrect countries first and that is no longer possible. People from HK will prefer Britain over Germany because of its colonial past and language. But it is unlikely that China will let people from HK go, neither to Britain nor to Germany. The three hundred thousand currently in Britain are likely to stay.

Cloggie, as a socialist you focus on race as the determining factor of your beliefs. You want justice over the rich but usually the rich are too strong so you guys made up this word called racism to create schisms in states to make two halves of the poor kill each other and socialists hope to hoover up the spoils. The state is not the saviour, Jesus is, even the crazy muslims believe that (now the ignant blm allies will go and look it up).
Freedom means diversity. Under fair competition, the cream rises to the top. Under socialism each identity gets a voice, but the system is weak and motivation is lost. Ever wonder why the biggest movies songs and books are just versions of either old comics or modernised old movies? Because under socialism creativity is dying, not thriving, whites as a class in socialism are the enemy, whites are not allowed to be creative or love other than in mixed race scenarios because it’s not ‘fair’ otherwise. Oh well. I dont fear 3 million educated hong kongers, they are wealthy and creative. We are not talking a rag tag band of jihadis here. If whites die out in the UK so what, they wont, but so what, as long as we succeed in fair competition.

As biologist Bret Weinstein said in his podcast last week with linguistics prof John McWhorter: “If you attempt a Maoist takeover of the US, you’ll get a civil war.”
Unlike North-America, western Europe is nowhere near a Maoist takeover. A right-wing takeover perhaps, like in the thirties.
That business was the full participation of Black citizens in American life. The main grievance now is that Black Americans are still denied full participation due to “systemic racism.” That’s a dodge. What actually happened is that Black America opted out and lost itself in a quandary of its own making with the assistance of their white dis-enablers, the well-intentioned “progressives.”
There isn’t going to be a full participation of blacks in American society, apart from the 100 m sprint or football stadiums. In any other realm these people are an embarrassment, despite trillions of affirmative action money thrown at them. In the sixties, blacks were on a higher level than today.
Let me take you back to the mid-20th century. America had just fought and won a war against manifest evil.
Kosher BS, Kunstler probably believes himself, deluded as he is by the self-serving Nuremberg tales.
Really, America, if you want to begin somewhere, require the teaching of language skills in the schools. If you continue to deny it, you are condemning people to failure.
Kunstler flogging a dead horse. We are now more than half a century deep into the civil rights and the situation gets worse rather than better. Why not draw the obvious conclusion that multi-ethnic societies don’t work, nowhere. Not in Palestine, not in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Versailles-Poland, Rwanda, the list goes on.
It was difficult enough to make European America work, it could have, or the EU.
The real reason why America is facing the abyss is because of shifting demographics. That “minorities” gets a hollow ring with whites below 20 at 45%. BLM is an expression of growing strength-of-color. Expect all hell to break loose after Trump, when the Dems will punish white America for its “defection from globalist values”. Just read the comments from residents Maoists like Duncan, Mobster, DrScalion, etc. They are not going to stop, and hence tragedy is pre-programmed.

White nigger van Helsing, there are other countries that have gone through similar demographic shifts as the US, but still have a ways to go before they are staring into the abyss.
As per usual you are calling a symptom the root cause. You need to or else your racial theories (dead daddy’s baggage) fall apart.
How many decades have you been predicting your Manichaean race-culture war that ends in a Caucasian only utopia?
That’s a very Christian notion. A complete ripoff actually, which is hilarious coming from you. You are just like the rest of them. Baggage carrier of dead peoples beliefs. Desperate for meaning. And your Caucasian only utopia w/alt energy is pure progressive fantasy.
Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind
Tom Holland
Christianity is the most enduring and influential legacy of the ancient world, and its emergence the single most transformative development in Western history. Even the increasing number in the West today who have abandoned the faith of their forebears, and dismiss all religion as pointless superstition, remain recognisably its heirs. Seen close-up, the division between a sceptic and a believer may seem unbridgeable. Widen the focus, though, and Christianity’s enduring impact upon the West can be seen in the emergence of much that has traditionally been cast as its nemesis: in science, in secularism, and yes, even in atheism.
That is why Dominion will place the story of how we came to be what we are, and how we think the way that we do, in the broadest historical context. Ranging in time from the Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC to the on-going migration crisis in Europe today, and from Nebuchadnezzar to the Beatles, it will explore just what it was that made Christianity so revolutionary and disruptive; how completely it came to saturate the mind-set of Latin Christendom; and why, in a West that has become increasingly doubtful of religion’s claims, so many of its instincts remain irredeemably Christian. The aim is twofold: to make the reader appreciate just how novel and uncanny were Christian teachings when they first appeared in the world; and to make ourselves, and all that we take for granted, appear similarly strange in consequence. We stand at the end-point of an extraordinary transformation in the understanding of what it is to be human: one that can only be fully appreciated by tracing the arc of its parabola over millennia.

When it comes to Permaculture There are 12 principles one should know about.
1. Observe and Interact
2. Catch and Store Energy (Read on How to store Solar energy.)
3. Obtain a yield from the farm
4. Apply self-regulation checks and accept feedback gracefully.
5. Use and give value/preference to renewable resources and services.
6. Produce absolutely no waste, or at least minimal.
7. Designs should involve everything from the patterns to minimal details.
8. Integrate different resources rather than segregate them.
9. Make use of small and sustainable solutions no matter how slow they may be. Don’t lose patience!
10. Prefer biodiversity on your farm.
11. Use the edges and value the marginal bits, no matter how small.
12. Embrace changes and creatively respond to them for higher sustainability.

Not knocking Permaculture….is it possible in a world of major change climate, energy , population growth?
How many decades has it been 3 or 4 decades here in the United States…..very little penetration in the mass culture.
Sorry, folks will eat grass before they practice Permaculture principles

Dumbass.
