David Holmgren presents the design principles as thinking tools that when used together allow us to creatively redesign our environment and our behaviour in a world of less energy and resources.
The full DVD is available from http://www.holmgren.com.au or http://www.permacultureprinciples.com
I like Bill Mollison better.

I like the symbols but am confused as every permaculture teacher and writer has their own set of principles.

There is a need for all types of communications; academic theory and discussion as well as detailed explanation of practical applications. Without both might as well just watch the boob tube or be led around like sheep.

What your selling does have a price (classes and books, DVDs and teacher intention). Fair market value of production is fair but if the mode is too costly to not do maybe there's a way to promote acceptance with an eye on maximizing the returns. Meaning it happens whether it sells or not. :)

... teaching us how to think logically about systems. Bearing in mind he has done the practical stuff already & the intended audience are designers.

Too academic and theoretical. I like the videos that actually get into practical applications much more.

Very good thinking, David. Too bad these ideas are not more gainfully utilized by the mainstream.
