Fair Shares: Permaculture Ethics

The best explanation of the Fair Shares ethics begins: "By governing our own needs, living within limits and consciously co-creating, we can create surplus resources to further the other key permaculture ethics (Care for the Earth and Care for People). 

Living within limits is not about limiting people's free movement, tight border controls and one-child policy. It is about conscious efforts to achieve a stable human inhabitation of the Earth and respecting the genuine needs of other beings. " source

Accepting and designing human environments to incorporate the rights of human, and all other beings, to water, clean air, adequate and appropriate shelter, education for all, and healthcare, for example, is how we honour the Fair Share ethics.

Fair Shares is essential if we are to achieve the other two ethics, People Care and Earth Care. What can you do to actively embrace the Fair Share ethic?
