Permaculture Tasmania has their AGM on the 14th of September, see flyer for details. Permaculture Tasmania exists to promote Permaculture knowledge and practices, to share Tasmanian Permaculture events and to connect members across the state and in their local areas. Permaculture Tasmania is an incorporated not-for-profit organisation created to promote Permaculture knowledge and practices. We aim to encourage discussion on Permaculture practices and activities across Tasmania and Australia, sharing ideas, skills and building community networks. We have a number of local groups which you can get involved with, and are always happy to hear from people – please email us on [email protected]

The three foundational ethics of permaculture are Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share. Earth Care is based on our relationship with Nature; that our survival and wellbeing is dependent on the good health of all life systems. So, this is the most fundamental one of all three ethics for our work as permaculturists. People Care includes that fact that we have an indisputable need to belong to one another. This ethic also encourages us to re-discover the value of community dynamics, and to understand that service to others is a service to ourselves. Fair Share includes encouraging us to share our resources when we have surplus over what we need. To do so, we have to reassess our perception of enoughness, and exercise reasonable consumption over hoarding. It’s presumed that in a sustainable system the yield is unlimited and resources flow.
