The power of people working together towards a common goal is one of the most potent tools that we have, and it’s a tool which enables the physical and non-physical structures of a Permaculture system to be put into place. One is about changing the existing community you already live in to one which is embedded with Permaculture principles.

In the next series of videos we discuss the importance of trees and look at their use in the major climate zones. Trees in the tropics are where nutrients are held, and they play a vital role in stabilizing the tropical ecosystem.

Enjoy the video and discover your own ‘Zones of Brilliance’ and your next steps after this course. Javan and the whole Intro to Permaculture team are challenging you to make something real out of this book in the 10 days following the end of your reading.

It’s considered the ‘bible’ of Permaculture, and I’ve personally been reading it for 20 years, and still reference it frequently.

In this video, we once again revisit our watershed diagram to talk about the effects that deforestation has on the entire watershed. There’s no clearer example of the effects of deforestation then in the country of Haiti on the Island of Hispanola in the Caribbean Sea.

The goal is to internalize the sector compass, where when you show up at a location and identify the cardinal directions, you automatically know where the sun will rise and set on the Summer and Winter Solstices’ and equinoxes.

There are also those who add a fourth ethic, called the “Transition Ethic“. The transition ethic recognizes that we have a long way to go, and it may be necessary to use unsustainable practices or technologies along the way, like, for example, fossil fuel driven Earth moving equipment.

But for the purposes of the introductory book we will look at the three most general categories: Tropical, Drylands and Temperate zones. Understanding weather and climate are important for the designer to have all the information to make the best design choices. View the following video and explore the links below to learn more about the projected changes for locations around the globe.

Understanding the way that mountain ranges interact with weather and the way that atmospheric moisture moves from the oceans into the interior of continents is an important macro-pattern to understand in order to answer the “where am I?” question.
