hello, thanks for introducing permaculture clearly and briefly. I learned a lot and it is so inspiring for me. I live in Iran and I have a small farm. I hope to undertake these principles in my life and share my experiences with others.

Elizabeth,
Thank-you for putting this together. It is a great way to start a process of examining our relationship with the planet. I would like to share this information on my blog site, Permaculture, ECO-ethics, Trees. Would you mind if I imported it into the wordpress platform? I would definitely give you full credit.
