Summary

How can we better understand (and care for) the world around us? Be more in sync with nature? Become better attuned to what grows and lives in our own backyard? Permaculturist and author Ben Falk offers his candid thoughts on how to do just this. He starts with his own story, explaining how he went from "tree hugger" to where he is today (more than an "environmentalist" in the traditional sense of the word).

He goes over the permaculture zones and other basics for how to best interact with our environment, reviews how to make the most of our resources (yes, even human "waste"), and ultimately how to collaborate with nature for a brighter future for all of us.
