Q

The ethical basis a permaculture

A
  1. care for the earth provisions for all life system to continually multiply 2. Care of people provisions for people to access the resources necessary to their existence 3. Setting limits to population and consumption by governing our own needs we can set resources aside to further the above principles

Q

Why would there never be laws in the area biology

A

Living systems do not lend them selves district scientific definition for two reasons. First life is always in the process of change second life systems react to investigation or experiments experiments

Q

5 design principles for permaculture

A

1 work with nature rather than against it 2 the problem is the solutions. How to use the problem to solve issues 3 make the list change for the greatest possible effect 4 the yield of a system is theoretically unlimited 5 everything garden seeing where and how everything can be part of the usted.

Q

Best way to create a yield

A

The way to create a yield is to be conservative in resources

17
Q

Why is energy like money

A

It’s easier saved than generated

18
Q

5 resources are

A

Those that increase by modest use Those unaffected by use Those that disappear or degrade if not used Those reduced by use Those that pollute or destroy other resources if used 1/3 are commonly natural systems 4/5 urban and industrial development. A society that manages 1-4 and bans 5, regulates all uses to produce sustainable yields is resource management

19
Q

Permaculture and local farms do what to centralized power

A

It’s food resource independence. It destroys centralized power

20
Q

Principal of disorder

A

A system or organism can accept only a quantity of a resource that is can use productively. Any further input causes disorder. Chronic pollution.

21
Q

Imparable yeilds

A

Health nutrition security satisfactory social context and lifestyle. What does it gain a man if he gains the whole world and looses his soul

22
Q

What is the concern of base yield in permaculture?

A

That it is sustainable

23
Q

How many functions should Should I designed to be able to get

A

Five functions

24
Q

Definition of System yield

A

The sum total of surplus energy produced by stored conserved reused or converted by the design. energy is in surplus once the system it’s self has available all its needs for growth reproduction and maintenance

25
Q

What does a true accounting of yield take into consideration

A

A true accounting of yield takes into consideration both upstream costs energy and downstream costs health. The product yield may create problems of pollution and soil mineral loss and cost more than It can replace

26
Q

What would 4 things included in a set of ethics on natural systems

A

Implacable and uncompromising opposition to further disturbance in remaining forests where most species still in tack Vigorous rehabilitation-of degraded and damaged natural systems to stable states Establishment of plant systems for our own use on the least amount of land we can use for existence Establishment of plant and animal refuge for rare and threatened species

27
Q

Basic patterns

A

The basic patterns are spirals, waves, streamlines, cloud-forms, lobes, branches, nets and scatter
