An Ecovillage is a community designed to be environmentally sustainable and socially cohesive. These villages often focus on reducing their ecological footprint by using renewable energy sources, practicing organic farming, and promoting biodiversity. Residents typically share resources and responsibilities, fostering a sense of cooperation and connection among members. Ecovillages can vary in size and structure, but they usually emphasize principles of sustainable living, community engagement, and ecological design. Many ecovillages also incorporate educational programs to raise awareness about environmental issues and encourage sustainable practices both within and outside the community.
