Many of the world's conflicts and problems seem to make some sense when we look at the distribution of energy consumption. The lights on Earth represent the standard of living from a Western perspective; transportation, consumer goods, economic activity and technological development. When designing Permaculture systems, we want to have a wide perspective on the world so we can best assess the forces at work wherever we are.

While this video introduces a general overview of a complex problem, throughout the rest of the course we explore the details of how to restore landscapes and stabilize the climate.
