We need to speak about watersheds, mycelium and the ecology of the pedasphre as a whole. We also need to expand our tent to include bio-tech and the transhumanist vision. Thus we might start by building an image of the future that focuses the drive of capitalism on the the health of the ecosystem.

We need to think in terms of whole new ideas in design. The waters shed of any community is its life blood, thus design improvements in water capture, management and usage is the first step in community re-design. Permaculture needs to reach past the garden and into the whole formation of community. At the market level tons of food is thrown away into land fills from markets to food venders wait is a common theme. Composting, recycling and reuse should be the mandate of waist treatment.
Think of all the folks out there who grow indoor house plants, now imagine an ethos in which all house plants were edible. Exchanging house plants for edible ones is a shift in cultural priority, but it is also a Meme. But this type of meme must get into a “Vanity fare or a Vogue ” magazine in order to reach the scalability we need. Thus permaculture needs o find ways in which it becomes fashionable.
