Originally from Montreal, I have been living in Japan for 10 years, mostly in Tokyo.
To go straight to the point, I believe that this country, and the World in general, is going in the wrong direction, in all aspects (culturally, politically, economically, etc). Everything has to change, and in first priority, our rapport with Nature. After a lot of research for a glimpse of hope, I found Permaculture, and though that this it could only lead lead to a sustainable way forward, but also to the establishment of basis for a much needed refunding of our society values; the birth of a new culture not driven by money.
My wife and I decided to launch a Permaculture project in the Kanto area. We are currently looking for land, and for support.
