The Beginning

The JEM group and I are researching ways people can begin to live a “lower-impact way of life” and lessen their ecological "footprint". The ECOVILLAGE is a growing movement that we want to create awareness about.

For my portion of the project, I will dedicate this page to creating awareness on how ecovillages are using effective, long lasting, and renewable food and energy systems. Along with looking at the environmental aspects of an ecovillage, I will also incorporate various social dimensions that are associated with food and energy systems within the ecovillage as a whole.

Each week the JEM group will be showcasing different ecovillageS from around the world. Check back to read more about what communities are doing to address food and energy issues.
