Permaculture:We hope to develop the school gardens following the 3 ethics of permaculture: Care for the Earth, Care for People and Fair Share.
Permaculture deals with not just agriculture and farming, but with maintaining an sustainable lifestyle in everything that you do, no matter where you are and what you are doing. If we follow the 3 ethics and apply them to the things we do in our lives we will end up leaving this planet better than how we found it. |
