PDC LESSON 1.13
PRINZIPLES OF NATURAL FORCES  
Work with nature,
rather than against the natural elements, forces, pressures, and evolutions. So
that we assist rather than impede natural developments. (Mollison)
Permaculture is based on “ ..a philosophy of working with rather than against nature; of protected and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action; of looking at systems and people in all their functions rather than asking only one yield of them: and of allowing systems to demonstrate their own evolutions”
“In designing with nature, rather
than against it, we can create landscapes that operate like healthy natural
systems, where energy is conserved, wastes are recycled, and resources made
abundant”
On your property you can use
natural convection flows to cool your house and plant native species in your
home garden. If you have a strong wind, you can either plant a windbreak to try
to slow it down or you can out a windmill for energy.
As effortless as a bird on rising
convection, working with the natural flow of nature. 
Text from the roots, Mollison, Holmgren, Bratt Pritchard
