We always hear about the problems the world is facing: global warming, climate change, topsoil loss, deforestation, desertification, pollution, depletion of natural resources and water cycle issues. I used to feel powerless and in despair when confronted with such monumental problems as I was stuck in a “problem prone” state of mind.
For the past three years, since discovering Permaculture, I have shifted my state of mind to search for solutions as opposed focusing on the problems. In my search for solutions I have learned about Permaculture Design from Rob Avis of Verge Permaculture, taken my Permaculture Design Certificate and Earthworks Course with Geoff Lawton and have started my own Permaculture Design and Education Company, Element Eco-Design.
