Education is key to making good decisions, through education you will gain the understanding necessary to know how your decisions will affect you, your neighbors and the environment. When making decisions within the permaculture framework, we rely on the permaculture ethic as a tool for conflict resolution and benchmarks to measure success in our design.

This ethic is simple:

• Earth Care: living, growing and promoting the function of living systems. Building biomass (capturing CO2 in living systems) is good.
• People Care: providing clean water, food and shelter, and strong communities that do not enslave people.
• Return of Surplus: all surplus generated by these systems is returned back into earth care and people care, not into the generation of more surplus for the sake of surplus. Growth is not endless, since we live on a single planet with finite resources.
