Announcing the Opening of The Permaculture Credit Union
The Permaculture Credit Union is a reality. A new kind of environmentally
responsive financial institution has been created and chartered. It is
possibly the first credit union founded upon the Earth Care principles of
Permaculture ethics, namely respect for natural systems, respect for
people, and no waste ( which in banking will mean the reinvestment and
recycling of surplus back into the community being served). Our mission is
to pool the financial resources of people who subscribe to these ethical
principles and provide a financial vehicle that will allow these resources
to be put to work creating a sound sustainable, environmentally responsible
future. We believe we have targeted a market that is severely unserved by
existing financial institutions- those people who are committed to a
cleaner environment, healthy food and water, sustainable energy use, and a
more conscious lifestyle. It will create the opportunity for members to
control the use of money in the community and contribute to the
revitalization of local well-being.

"What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any
group is doing on the planet. We don't know what details of a truly
sustainable future are going to be like, but we need options, we need
people experimenting in all kinds of ways and permaculturists are one of
the critical gangs that are doing that."
Dr David Suzuki geneticist, broadcaster
and international environmental advocate
Permaculture education includes principles and practices of
sustainable soil, water, crop, forest, architectural, business, and
finance systems ethical investment, community loan support and small
business management.
Permaculture, from PERMAnent agriCULTURE, is an integrated system of
design including not only agriculture, horticulture, architecture and
ecology but also land access strategies and economic systems for small
businesses and communities.
Taken from the Latin, permanens, to endure or persist through time and
cultura, cultures - permaculture is an interdisciplinary design
science focused on sustainable system design. Sustainable systems are
defined as those that, over their lifetime, produce energy equivalent
to or in excess of what they consume.
Permaculture operates on three ethics: care of the earth, care of the
species and return of excess to the first two.
