Everything cycles is one of the key principles of permaculture design

In the natural world, there is no such thing as ‘pollution’. Within an eco- system, every ‘waste product’ is useful elsewhere within that system... When we flush our bodily wastes out to sea, not only are we causing pollution, we are at the same time wasting a valuable resource. Composting our shit mends the cycle of fertility...
