Permaculture Ethics



Permaculture is unique amongst the sciences because above all it is an ethical system. Permaculture ethics are:
Care of the Earth (including all life),
Care of People
& Fair Shares for All.

In this short excerpt from the award winning documentary film about the suffering of animals for food, fashion, pets, entertainment and medical research, the truth about our connection with our fellow earthlings is revealed in graphic detail.

My pleasure.

I had been a vegetarian for 15 years, I broke that when I lived in Alaska for a year. Ive been off and on ever since.

I think a good way to start and to help ease others into the fact that you don't eat meat is to adopt a Thervadan Buddhist diet.

They traditionally beg for their one meal. They are vegetarians, but if meat is offered they will accept it. They wont accept it if it is made especially for them, but if it was already made, they will eat it.

I do a version of this because I am poor and I can't refuse my grandma's hospitality.

Peace,
