Overview: Note: NetWorks Productions Inc. holds the copyrights to this on-line series. We ask that our copyrights be honored. In addition, "Permaculture" is a copyrighted word. Only those who have completed a 72-hour design course are authorized to use the word in commerce. These videos are documents from two design courses taught by Bill Mollison at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose Texas in 1994 and 1995. They are a definitive selection from our original 16 part series. These tapes bear many viewings and will benefit anyone who wants to learn how to help regenerate the earth - from back yard to bio-region. Teachers of permaculture have found these tapes to be a valuable coaching tool - edited to one hour. This is an opening lecture. The principles of functional design for sustainability are unique to Permaculture design. Find the rest of the 16-lecture series at networkearth.org http://www.networkearth.org/perma/culture.html
