At the heart of permaculture design and practice is a fundamental set of 'core values’ or ethics which remain constant whatever a person's situation whether they are creating systems for town planning or trade, whether the land they care for is only a window box or an entire forest.
These ethics are often summarised as:
- Earth Care – recognizing that the earth is the source of all life (and is possibly itself a living entity) and that we recognize and respect the Earth as our valuable home, and we are part of the Earth, not apart from it.
- People Care – supporting and helping each other to change to ways of living that are not harming ourselves or the planet, thereby creating healthy, sustainable societies.
- Fair Share (or placing limits on consumption) – ensuring that the Earth’s limited resources are utilised in ways that are equitable and wise.
