I'm glad you enjoyed! The pictures are inspiring, and show why it's so hard to capture what an ecovillage is in one photo, but also how cool and innovative the places ecovillagers are building!

thanks for the article. Ive just joined an ecovillage in northern NSW Australia and it is profound experiencing community based around what you are describing. Truly an idea whose time has come. https://afterleevillage.au/

This is incredibly helpful; I know for a fact that this is not what people (even community builders!) think ecovillages are.

Please continue your beating of the ecovillage drum, defining it, and creating more understanding around the term Nicole. It encapsulates what many are craving even if they don’t know it. I couldn’t agree more that this is what we need!

Do you feel that a platform to help people book visits at communities would be helpful Nicole?

Thanks.

The video at the start of this article was Globalist (communist/ Fascistic) bollocks.

I am all for locally sourced produce, zero plastic waste and other natural and sensible measures but hiding behind these things is a desire by the Globalist machine to imprison people in their local area. As soon as carbon is mention we know it’s Globalist BS which will lead to neo-serfdom and zero travel, zero freedom and zero self-sufficiency.

It’s a trap.

Wake TF Up fools.

I love this. I wrote about this concept for a college journalism course the year you were born.
