Permaculture Ethics and Principles Guide

Permaculture is based on three ethics of caring for the Earth, caring for people, and fair share. It also has 12 design principles for creating sustainable systems, such as observing interactions in nature, catching and storing energy, obtaining yields, integrating rather than segregating elements, and using small and slow solutions. The principles aim to design harmonious systems that provide for human needs while protecting the natural environment.
