Sustainability

Tools that work! Pole Shift Survival Information. Tools that work! Introducing Permaculture. Permaculture is primarily a thinking tool for designing low carbon, highly productive systems, but its influence can be very pervasive!

Introducing Permaculture

Discovering permaculture often starts in the garden or on the farm, but permaculture isn’t just about growing food (although it can be a big help with designing productive food systems and I will be talking about this aspect a lot on this blog). Permaculture is a means of connecting each of us more deeply to nature’s patterns and wisdom — and of applying that understanding in our daily lives.

That is the inspirational nature of permaculture.

Solar water heating

SWH has been widely used in Australia, Austria, China, Cyprus, Greece, India, Israel, Japan and Turkey. In a "close-coupled" SWH system the storage tank is horizontally mounted immediately above the solar collectors on the roof. No pumping is required as the hot water naturally rises into the tank through thermosiphon flow.
