PERMACULTURE (permanent agriculture) is a design system for creating sustainable human
environments.
Cinco de Mayo, on the other hand, is a celebration of Mexican origin largely ignored by residents of Mexico but beloved by Americans as if it were our southern neighbor's Fourth of July, which it is not.
It is about designing households, home gardens, and communities that are
productive, largely self-sustaining, and capable of supporting self-reliant participants (human, flora, and fauna) with a minimal impact
on the environment (Live.PermacultureDay.org).

International Permaculture Day is a celebration featuring a wide range of permaculture events occurring across America, Australia, and the globe. All
activities are held on the first Sunday in May unless specified
otherwise.
All
of us would acknowledge our own work as modest, but the totality of
such modest work is impressive. Great changes are taking place. Join us to make a better future! Ingenio Patet Campus. The field lies open to the intellect. - Bill Mollison
How to Participate
The theme for International Permaculture Day 2013 is GROW LOCAL!
to highlight the value of permaculture design for building local
resilience.
Grow Local! refers to food, energy, shelter, fiber,
community, economy, and so on. We want to hear from all live on Sunday about growing local. For more about the day and permaculture, see the ABOUT page, the press release, and this article.
How? All
that is needed to participate in Grow Local Live! is a computer or smartphone
with a good Internet connection and a built-in or plug-in camera and
microphone. Enroll live events.
Ideas include reporting from an event one is attending or hosting,
field reports, on the spot interviews, or anything on the theme. More
