'''Update 2013/03/17''': After weeks pondering, and seeing more TZM material published perpetuating the mechanistic world-wide, and also seeing RBEM.org going the same line of being solely focused on "scientifically" based solutions; I see no future for me in RBE or RBEM solutions as long those do ground themselves with the kind of mechanistic and technocratic world-view which comes with it.

The main idea is not to focus on what's not there, but work with the actual resources available (e.g. on-site), and manage the actual needs and demands (see earlier consideration how to determine root needs and demands).

"The Harvest of Abundance" suggests to recognize the abundance which is there, and harvest the wind through (for example) a windmill; don't try to fight or reject a natural abundance. If you think to alter circumstance to take advantage of potential other abundance, observe and review your alteration carefully, the consequences of the influence and alteration on the broader system you are operating in (holistic thinking & system theory).

[http://www.occupyconcepts.org/wiki/Permaculture Permaculture] defines a basic framework of ideas, principles and values of human in relation to nature; the actual details are developed and shared by application. Some Permaculture advocates use heavy machinery to alter the actual physical landscape, whereas others closely observe and then decide where which location is used for what without interfering with the landscape as heavily - there is not one dogma and teaching telling exactly how to do things, but, as said, a set of principles which are suggested to apply to your actions.
