Hey there, green thumbs! Today, we’re talking about the permaculture principle of “Apply Self-Regulation and Accept Feedback.” This principle is all about taking responsibility for our actions, monitoring our impact on the environment, and being open to feedback so we can make positive changes.
In permaculture, we believe that we are responsible for our own actions and the impact they have on the world around us. By practicing self-regulation, we can monitor our own behaviour and adjust it as needed to minimise harm to the environment. And by accepting feedback from others, we can learn from our mistakes and improve our systems for the future.
Think of it like a dance party. You don’t just flail around on the dance floor without any regard for the people around you, do you? No way! You check in with your partners and adjust your moves as needed so everyone can have a good time. The same goes for permaculture. We check in with the environment, monitor our impact, and adjust our behaviour as needed to promote sustainability.
This principle isn’t just about monitoring our own behaviour, either. It’s also about being open to feedback from others and the environment. By accepting feedback from the natural world, we can learn from the ecosystems around us and work to build more sustainable systems. And by accepting feedback from our fellow humans, we can collaborate and learn from each other to create a better future for all.
So, let’s apply self-regulation and accept feedback! Let’s take responsibility for our actions, monitor our impact on the environment, and be open to feedback from others so we can make positive changes. Together, we can create a more sustainable and resilient world for ourselves and future generations.
