Book Description:
The odyssey of the Todds began during a tumultuous period in recent human history marked by intense political and economic strife and destructive military conflict. Over a number of years through careful experimentation, the Todds developed ten key principles of ecological design in an attempt to guide, or as they say, steward, the planet towards a sustainable future. Ecological design is quite interdisciplinary in scope, and seeks to integrate biological principles into agriculture. By blending agriculture, renewable energy and architectural concepts, the Todds seek to create sustainable mini-ecosystems, as opposed to communities, which incorporate humans while at the same time mimicking the larger biosphere. As such, the Todds have made the first viable and quantifiable attempt to employ scientific principles that will ultimately allow `humankind' to become `one with the environment'. These scientists recognized early on that humanity depended on nature for its survival, and that any attack on nature is ultimately
an attack on all of humanity.
