The Holistic Life: Sustainability through Permaculture

book cover: The Holistic Life



  Ian Lillington, 2007, 144 pages full colour

Ian Lillington first heard about permaculture 
when working on an inner-city farm in Liverpool, 
England in the 1980s. Soon he was involved in the 
international permaculture network, applying its 
principles and practices to house and garden 
design and community development.

In this timely book, Ian sets out the vision for 
a sustainable planet as well as methods we can 
all use to get there. The time has now come to 
get serious about using alternatives and 
conserving what we already have, rather than 
living as if there is an unlimited supply of what 
we all know to be limited resources. Here are 
some simple starting points which you can 
implement to be the change you wish to see in the world.

• Meeting New Challenges

• Permaculture­An Antidote to Consumer Society

• Feeding Ourselves

• Growing your own

• Personal and household strategies for sustainable living

• Some Simple Starting Points

• Using less fossil fuel­Understanding our energy addiction

• Villages within the city and Community Gardens

• Permaculture Principles

Ian began teaching permaculture on a Permaculture 
Design Course in 1992 (in Manchester, UK), and 
then moved to Hepburn Springs, Australia to work 
with David Holmgren (co-originator of the 
permaculture concept), and continued teaching at 
his demonstration home in Willunga and at the Food Forest, South Australia

Now living in Castlemaine, Central Victoria, Ian 
is active in a town where ‘re-localisation’ is 
well underway, with a very active Sustainability 
Group, and is employed as a project manager to 
assist with the development of small-scale 
housing clusters and sustainability initiatives in schools.

David Holmgren says:

This book is a great place to start for anyone 
wanting to live more sustainably. Ian Lillington 
fulfils a need for a simple and up to date 
introduction to permaculture. He highlights how 
our own behaviour is a central issue in 
permaculture design with concrete examples of how 
living permaculture reconstructs our world.
This overview of the scope of permaculture 
solutions is especially made real through Ian's 
own experience in a wide range of locations.
Beyond this down-to-earth and practical approach, 
Ian's simple explanation and interpretation of 
permaculture ethics and design principles 
provides an accessible insight into the theory of permaculture.
