I'm a passionate environmentalist currently living in Brooklyn, NY but getting ready to transition out to the country in the coming months.
I don't hold a permaculture certification but I've been studying and practicing permaculture for 7+ years. I find the current emphasis on (an often very expensive) certification in the permaculture world creates an elitist climate which is quite repelling and counterproductive.
I believe in community, simplicity and proaction.
