What is so great about Ecovillage Spotlight: Findhorn Eco village, Scotland?
Eco villages often combine ecological planning and design with innovative social, political and/or economic systems. Additionally, they often include certain cultural or spiritual goals. The Global Eco village Network (GEN) states, “Eco villages are urban or rural communities of people, who strive to integrate a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life. To achieve this, they integrate various aspects of ecological design, permaculture, ecological building, green production, alternative energy, community building practices, and much more.” Due to their great features but still rather obscure existence, I decided to do this “Eco village Spotlight” series to highlight some of the great eco villages that exist around the world. The ecovillages that follow show some of the great possibilities that are out there for ecologically friendly, community living.
