The recent LA-area fires were a stark reminder of how vulnerable conventional homes can be to natural disasters. But out of destruction comes innovation—and hope.
More people are turning to SuperAdobe and other natural building techniques, which are not only fire-resistant but also sustainable, affordable, and beautiful. These structures, built with earthbags and simple materials, can withstand extreme conditions, offering a safer and more resilient way to build.

Those of us trained in Permaculture have a duty. We have a duty to step up and show the world what we know, that solutions are out there!
We have the design skills to show others how to make those solutions possible. All we have to do is use them.
The Permaculture Institute of North America wants to help give you a little push. We will give the best design that gets submitted to our committee $5000!! All YOU have to do is submit one.

"It is my belief that we have two responsibilities to pursue: Primarily, it is to get our house and garden, our place of living, in order, so that it supports us; Secondarily, it is to limit our population on earth, or we become the final plague. " - Bill Mollison
It starts at home folks.
