None of these things are really what permaculture is about afaik? It's about mirroring natural ecosystems when you decide to grow plants somewhere; the opposite is monoculture where you grow everything separately? Am I just using this word wrong? Lol

In part yes, what Arthur is describing is really just not being totally wasteful. And while it's better real permaculture requires massive scale change an individual isn't capable of. Like what pre-contact America was like which had euros describing chunks of it as "like parks"
