Simple living (or voluntary simplicity) is a lifestyle in which individuals consciously choose to minimize the pursuit of wealth and consumption. Adherents choose simple living for a variety of reasons, including spirituality, health, stress reduction, conservation, social justice or to reject consumerism, while others choose to live more simply for reasons of personal taste or personal economy.
Simple living as a concept is distinguished from the simple lifestyles of those living in conditions of poverty. Although asceticism may resemble voluntary simplicity, proponents of simple living are not all ascetics. The term "downshifting" is often used to describe the act of moving from a lifestyle of greater consumption towards a lifestyle based on voluntary simplicity.

The term permaculture is a contraction of the expression “ permanent culture” , introduced by two Australian - David Holmgren and Bill Mollison, to synthesize an integrated system conceived to answer the serious challenge of the survival of the whole of planet and its inhabitants. Largely exceeding the concern to develop and apply methods of food production bearable, permaculture touches with all the aspects of the human activity which put in danger the dynamic balance of the relations and interractions allowing the life on ground -- it is the CULTURE of Permanence or “the bearable creation of the habitat while following the natural model”

Econology is the contraction of economy and ecology.The link is our growing awareness of the impact of human activities on the environment.
It's high time we started working in a sustainable way : we must find an economic model that takes environmental issues into account. Ideally, such a system should not impair economic activities. Unfortunately many leaders, businessmen and politicians see the environment as an obstacle to their activities. This may be wrong provided we imagine new technologies.
