Sepp Holzer: A Permaculture Worldchanger, concerning Mr. Holzer, the man who implemented a farm that now spans over 45 hectares of forest gardens, including 70 ponds and tens of thousands of fruit trees, shrubs, vines and highly productive vegetables and herbs at an altitude of 1500 meters (~5000 feet). He has created a self-sustaining landscape in which he produces many varieties of the best quality fish, fruits, nuts, vegetables, mushrooms, pork, poultry and even citrus and kiwi without irrigation, fertilizers, pesticides or weeding. His farm is said to be the most consistent example of permaculture worldwide.
Pockets of Architectural Freedom: A Resource Map for Finding Green Building Friendly Jurisdictions, where can be found a fascinating map (plus an update) from the earthship website showing places "where permitting for environmentally friendly housing is quick and easy."
@Sepp Holzer: "- One of his biggest and most relevant truths is to work with nature instead of confronting it and working against it." Sounds like an awesome plan. Interesting. I look forward to his book. Since I'm watching your blog now, I expect you to let me know when it comes out. ;-) Hell, I expect you to steal it for me and pass it on. Hehe.
