Permaculture Design
Permaculture is based on the three ethics of Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share which are supported by 12 guiding principles. Permaculture is Regenerative as it provides humans with everything we need to live a healthy abundant life while still being stewards of wildlife, soils, and the whole earth. It actively IMPROVES the environment instead of degrading it by listening to Nature’s Laws, Patterns, and Relationships.
By understanding what plants and animals need **and what they can contribute** we can develop systems that produce what we need while still fulfilling the needs of the ecosystem around us.
It's not just about food production either. How we build our homes and use the resources available to us (sunlight, wind, and water among others) can be done in a way that follows natures patterns and improves our lives while reducing our impact on the planet.
It's not all about the earth needing us, we need the earth too! More and more studies have shown that our mental and physical health is directly improves human health and well being. We need to reincorporate ourselves back into natural systems for our own good!
