“State of Our Permaculture Union”. Interview with Lisa DePiano, Permaculturist & Keynote Speaker,
2012 NE Permaculture Convergence by Willi Paul, Permaculture Exchange

– excerpt –

“I believe that we need change from both inside the system, like the participatory budgeting that is happening in New York and Chicago, and on the outside. I find that I am most effective somewhere on the edge. I believe that as a movement permaculture changes things by building beautiful, productive, abundant realities that defy the myth of scarcity and illustrate abundance, that build cleaner soil, water, air. We create businesses and economies that turn waste into resources, that share the surplus and that are rooted in the assets of a community. We do our own healing work. We build solidarity with other movements for social, economic and environmental justice. We speak our truths. We have fun. ” LD
