ability to offer new services to their clients. Real estate and
development companies are able to better understand how to meet a
public's growing concern for the environment and environmental
regulations; homeowners have enjoyed creating front and backyard
paradises that enrich their families lives and add value to their
homes. Teachers have found new ways of integrating the art &
science of Permaculture Design into their curriculum at all grade
levels. College students are better able to direct their education,
plan their careers and find their own right
livelihoods...
