Permaculture design, or “Permaculture” is a combination of the words “permanent” and “agriculture.” This theory was originally coined an agro-ecological design, it has developed a large international following. This Permaculture Community continues to develop new ideas expanding on old ones, and has resulted in it becoming a form of architecture for nature and ecology. The first modern practice of it as a systematic method recorded was by Sepp Holzer, an Austrian farmer, in the 1960′s. It was officially developed scientifically by two Australians, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren and some of their associates during the 1970′s with a series of publications.

Children And The Environment How to Raise Environmentally Responsible Kids

If you are concerned about the future of your children and the environment, it makes sense to raise your children to be environmentally responsible. After all, the future belongs to them. Investing in your kids and making them aware of the planet is one of the most environmentally responsible things you can do.

Getting outdoors is healthy for adults, too, so do your whole family a favor and invite them outside for a group game of Frisbee, horseshoes, or a nature walk. The first step to getting your kids outdoors is to lead them there. Continue Reading Back to Nature How to Encourage Today’s Housebound Children to Explore the Great Outdoors Here
