The Solution
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is a set of design principles centered around whole systems thinking simulating or directly utilizing the patterns and resilient features observed in natural ecosystems

The science of Permaculture is guided by 3 core tenets and several key design theories
- Care for Earth: We need the Earth to survive, so we must base all plans on taking care of it. This includes all non human life on Earth.
- Care for People: Promotes self-reliance and responsibility towards the greater community.
- Fair Shares (Return of Surplus): Take what you need, return the rest. This includes all forms of abundance, including wealth, knowledge, experiences, etc in order to build better communities.
