Permaculture Principle #2: Catch and Store Energy
By Tim Sonder, Education Chair
"Make hay while the sun shines"
This principle deals with the capture and storage of energy, within the environment, buildings and even society.
Energy is fleeting and essential for life systems and society. Capture it now, so you can use it (or have it) later.
This is the true meaning of conservation.
It’s harvest time. When we pick fruit or vegetables we are catching energy. And possibly storing it for later.
