On July 14, 2007 I learn about peak oil. I also understand that oil is the blood of our modern world. Without oil, or without enough oil, or if oil is too expensive, our modern world just collapses.
I am the initiator of the Permavillage movement.
Permavillage = village + permaculture
And since permaculture has been defined by Bill Mollison as permanent agriculture, a permavillage is also permanent.
Update February 2020 : I have now access to a 1000m² plot of land, finally starting the first Permavillage. Unfortunately, meetings on Sunday have not started yet...
Update October 2022 : first Permavillage has been set up on the 1000m² plot of land. We collect and store rainwater; we sow, plant and harvest our food; we heat and cook with wood; we recycle all our waste.
