With a title like that, it's only fitting that these green home stories should begin in Australia, which is at the other end of the world from where I am, and that it should be a Permaculture project, which is something that I am passionate about.
You see, long before "green" became a buzz word, back when "green building" meant a house with green paint on it, the concept of Permaculture had been conceived and born on that very same continent and it was spreading and gathering momentum – and followers – in cities, suburbs, farms and villages all over the world, and it was of a much deeper shade of green than anything you hear about today.
This story begins in the town of Seymour, 98 kilometers north of Melbourne, Australia.
It's a blog, and it's as well written as it's inspiring. What makes it innovative, too, is that each action is approached in function of a permaculture principle – so that the site is not only a record, it's also a classroom.
