At its simplest, permaculture is an eco-logical approach to design. It can be described as a way of thinking, making decisions and designing things based on observing nature. Permaculture has a set of ethics and design principles which can be applied to physical things - like landscapes or cities - as well as to invisible things - like business models, and our personal lives. Transition Towns utilise permaculture principles and design as an important base for action.

As you may have heard, Ontario recently passed a Green Energy Act which, among other measures, offers homeowners the strongest incentives in North America to install low-impact renewable energy systems on their properties. Any property owner who installs a solar electric system can sell the power generated to the province's electrical grid at a price that is guaranteed for at least 20 years. This payment is known as a "feed-in tariff" and can provide a return better than a GIC. If you've ever thought of going solar, now is the time!
