As an environmental planner, I've been involved with designing sustainable human communities for over 20 years in Hawaii. I've discovered that many of the same skills and principles are deeply integrated in the permaculture process; the inclusion of the three core permaculture ethics is a major benefit in my shift towards the permaculture perspective.

While alternative energy, appropriate technology & natural building have long been my focal points, presently my orientation is to support farmers and related agriculture interests lighten their environmental footprint and increase the food security in the remote Hawaiian Islands.
