    What is an Eco-Village?

     

    An Eco-Village is a community whose living arrangements and processes are designed to be more environmentally, ecologically, and socially sustainable than traditional communities. These communities typically house about 50-250 individuals but can vary greatly depending on the community. Eco-Villages utilize renewable energy, eat locally produced food and produce zero harmful emissions in most cases to minimize the negative effects of modern housing communities.

     

    Eco-Villages Around the World

     

    According to the Global Ecovillage Network, there are almost 500 self-identified Eco-Villages around the world, with many other sustainable living communities that may not identify themselves as Eco-Villages. A few of the most popular Eco-Villages around the world are located in Scotland, Portugal, and Italy although they can be found in over 70 countries and on six continents.

     

    The Sustainable Living Lifestyle

     

    Believe it or not, living in an Eco-Village can lead a pretty normal life depending on which community you’re a part of. Many community members have homes, jobs, and kids attending local public schools, but the differences come from where they source their food, energy, and transportation. However, living in other Eco-Villages means giving up your normal life in exchange for helping the community daily, building sustainable homes, or farming local produce for the community market.
