DESCRIPTION:Permaculture is about designing ecological human habitats and production 
 systems. It is a land use and community building system which strives for 
 the harmonious integration of human dwellings, microclimate, annual and 
 perennial plants, animals, soils, and water into stable, productive 
 communities.\n\nThe focus is not on these elements themselves, but rather 
 on the relationships created among them by the way we place them in the 
 landscape. This synergy is further enhanced by mimicking patterns found in 
 nature.\n\nIt has been successfully used around the world to maximize food 
 production, regenerate springs, cool homes without air conditioning, 
 transform lives and reduce pollution, to name a few.\n\nThe essence of 
 Permaculture is summed up by 3 ethics:\n-Care of the Earth\n-Care of the 
 People\n-Share the Surplus\n\n*Urban Permaculture\nWe start with the 
 standardized Permaculture curriculum and add onto it insights and 
 strategies for applying Permaculture to the urban setting. This lengthens 
 the course to a degree, we do not omit any of the standard 
 materials.\n\nOver 50% of the world's population now lives in urban centers 
 and the number is growing. Adopting strategies to meet our needs in a sane 
 and ethical way is critical. In this course, we will learn how to design 
 those strategies.\n\n*Active Design Course\nThis is a design course and 
 participants will be working in teams producing a design for an actual 
 project here in San Francisco. Throughout the course, we will share with 
 you the tools and strategies required to complete the design which all 
 culminates in the final presentation at the completion of the 
 course.\n\nKeeping with Permaculture ethics, if you cannot afford the 
 course, please contact David so we can work something out.\n
