Permaculture ethics are three guiding principles of permaculture. They are:
1. Care for the Earth: Respect and protect the Earth and its natural resources.
2. Care for People: Respect and support the needs and contributions of all people.
3. Limits of Growth and Consumption: By governing our own needs, we can set resources aside to further the above principles.
Permaculture ethics are an essential part of permaculture design. They are meant to be used as a guide to ensure that people are making decisions and taking action that are sustainable and beneficial to the environment and people.
