The sad reality is that we are in danger of perishing from our own stupidity and lack of responsibility to life. If we become extinct because of factors beyond our control, then we can at least die with pride in ourselves, but to create a mess in which we perish by our own inaction makes nonsense of our claims to consciousness and morality.
Bill Mollison The Permaculture Designers Manual 1.1
Permaculture design is a system of assembling conceptual, material and strategic components in a pattern which functions to benefit life in all its forms. As the basis for Permaculture is beneficial design, it can be added to all other ethical training and skills, and has the potential of taking a place in all human endeavours.
Bill Mollison The Permaculture Designers Manual 1.0, 1.3
We already know "How To" build, maintain and inhabit sustainable systems. Every essential problem is solved, but in the everyday life of people this is hardly apparent. The wage-slave, peasant, landlord and industrialist alike are deprived of the leisure and the life spirit that is possible in a cooperative society which applies it knowledge. Both warders and prisoners are equally captive in the society in which we live.
Bill Mollison The permaculture designers Manual 1.1
Permaculture doesn't offer anything exclusive with regards to invisible structures that isn't also found elsewhere. But there are plenty of ways in which the design principles and methods of Permaculture can certainly be applied to so many invisible structures.

Jean Pain (1930 - 1981) was a French innovator who developed a compost based bioenergy system that produced 100% of his energy needs. He heated water to 60 degrees celsius at a rate of 4 litres a minute which he used for washing and heating. He also distilled enough methane to run an electricity generator, cooking elements, and power his truck. This method of creating usable energy from composting materials has come to be known as Jean Pain Composting, or the Jean Pain Method.
