For mankind's history, people have lived with supportive social structures in communities close to nature. Many of these communities exist today. In addition, ecovillages are now being created intentionally with people once again living in earth-friendly communities that ensure the well-being of all life-forms into the indefinite future. The ecovillage network also started in Denmark in 1993 at the country manor of Meilgaard. The different ecovillages of Denmark have been visiting and learning from each other. They have published a Danish ecovillage magazine LOSNET with the assistance of public funding as well as funding from Gaia Trust. One of the founders, Hildur Jackson wrote in 2004, "What stands out after 10 years? To me it is the idea of developing a new culture, an ecovillage culture made up of free people." In 1998, ecovillages were first officially named among the United Nations'
top 100 listing of Best Practices, as excellent models of sustainable living.
They are part of a growing
global movement for a saner, more sustainable human lifestyle. Please give us your ideas by filling out a quick form here. Thanks for your help. |
