Permaculture ethics makes practicing permaculture unique and challenging. They provide guidelines to follow as we interact with the landscape to suit our needs in the face of our ability to be destructive and wasteful. These ethics have been challenging for us to incorporate in the day to day as we change our lives. The dominant culture and economic system of over-consumption is completely antithetical to this work, so we remind ourselves that our ability to practice these ethics is always in progress, and a consciousness about them is our first step towards embodying them.
Design Care: When we design, are we meeting the other 3 ethics? These ethics are not defined, we can decide what they mean for us, but they are the measurables for the work we do. How do/will permaculture ethics inform your work?
