The Eco-Village Movement is a global initiative aimed at creating sustainable communities that prioritize environmental health, social equity, and economic viability. These communities often incorporate renewable energy sources, organic farming, and shared resources to minimize their ecological footprint. Residents typically engage in cooperative decision-making and emphasize a strong sense of community. Eco-villages can vary in size and structure, ranging from small intentional communities to larger neighborhoods. They often serve as models for sustainable living, showcasing practices that can be adopted by mainstream society. The movement is linked to broader concepts like sustainable development and permaculture, promoting a holistic approach to living harmoniously with nature.
