How will an eco village guarantee it will not illegally discriminate?
The sponsoring organizations are public benefit corporations which are mandated by law to non discrimination policies. People involved in the movements for cooperatives, eco villages, land trusts and mutual housing associations are traditionally in the forefront of being inclusive with respect to ethnic backgrounds, income level, age, sexual preference. The first principle of cooperatives is open membership to all of those who can use the services of the cooperative and are willing to assume the responsibility of membership.
