"Permaculture is a complex but simple idea of a paradigm that produces no waste. "
Permaculture Community Training brings together 20 individuals who will spend six months together, learning and supporting each other as they come to recognize the PRACTICAL aspects of permaculture. Although the theoretical framework of permaculture is part of the learning material, the HOPE project places more emphasis on the practical view of how the world is viewed, cared for it, and in what way do we plan to leave it for future generations.
