Ethics

Central to permaculture are the three ethics.
• Care for the Earth
• Care for People
• Fair Share
Ethics are culturally evolved mechanisms that regulate self-interest, giving us a better understanding of good and bad outcomes.
• Care for the Earth
The Earth is a living, breathing entity. Without ongoing care and nurturing there will be consequences too big to ignore.
• Care for People
If peoples needs are met in compassionate and simple ways, the environment surrounding them will prosper.
• Fair Share
We are provided with times of abundance which encourages us to share with others.
