Designed, Intentional, Sustainable, Community
D.I.S.C. is a tool to create Sustainable, Resilient community with using Permaculture concept and techniques.
D.I.S.C. is first of all a design; a Sustainable community design. This design is based on Permaculture concept and principles. It is a revolutionary and distruptive land design, management and community building tool. This design is against current land definitions and laws because these laws and legislations are based on Economical growth only. With this design as a tool, I'm introducing 2 other elements which does NOT exist in our current system finctionality yet; Environmental and Social Sustainability. Only way to create a circular economy is accepting that Sustainability is NOT only Economic stability but also bringing Environmental and Social solutions to our current issues. D.I.S.C. is a design, which to create a new way of lifestyle, housing, landscaping, neighbourhoods, communities and their connections. It is a tool to create Doughnut Economics in real time and life. In a linear lifestyle and economy, it is unrealistic to expect creating a circular economy. Circular economy is only possible with a circular lifestyle. This design provides you the circular lifestyle.

It's time to change the world and the Doughnut Economics perspective is a sensible direction as most things I've seen in a very long time. It gives you a new language to make sense of the dead end humanity is in,

I’m officially recently retired, but have now taken on the strategic development for Growing Links CIC. I am helping develop a sustainable healthy community based food system for the whole of our community. There is too much a stake for the future of our planet to sit idly by and watch the planet burn.
