Today we're talking about the 6th permaculture design principle: Make No Waste.
In Nature, "waste" = food. How can we design our homesteads and the various life support systems on them such that the "waste" from one becomes the food for another? How many energetic loops and connection can we create between elements, systems and organisms?
We'll discuss one of the simple tools for enacting the Waste = Food principle - called Input/Output/Intrinsic Analysis. We'll also talk about the switch that flips once you change the way you view what most of our society calls "waste" and junk piles start looking like diamond piles.
The more "waste" we can eliminate by creating systems that cycle energy better, the more resilient and independent we become, and the healthier the ecology becomes.
