Permaculture is an ethical decision-making and thinking skill that emphasises care for the planet and all people, and the sharing of resources and energy. Permaculture is underpinned by three simple ethical principles to guide our everyday thinking and actions: Earth Care, People Care, Fair Share.
ELTHAM has adopted these three principles to define its core value of Sustainability.
