Ecological Dimension
Ecology is the study of the dynamic, interdependent relationships in the Web of Life. An Eco-village, then, is a human settlement that is integrated into this Web of Life in a way that benefits both humans and their supporting environment.
The following Modules are intended to instill an “ecological literacy” — a functional knowledge-base influencing not only our thinking and critical design judgment but also our way of experiencing Life as a celebration of organic, evolutionary fullness and plenitude:
- Green Building and Retrofitting
- Local Food
- Appropriate Technology
- Restoring Nature
- Integrated Ecovillage Design
