Environtal magazine E has an article on the ecovillage movement.
For some reason they lead off with six paragraphs on Arocsanti before the get into the general ecovillage trend, mentioning LA Ecovillage, Cleveland Ecovillage, the Ecovillage Training Center at the Farm.
According to the study, the 379 “eco-villages” registered with the Global Eco-Village Network (110 of them in North America) are proof of changing attitudes. Eco-villages are defined by Worldwatch as “human scale, full-featured settlements in which human activities are harmlessly integrated into the natural world in a way that is supportive of healthy human development, and can be successfully con-tinued into the indefinite future.” The commun-ities can be urban, suburban or rural, and incorporate green buildings, local food production, solar energy, carpooling, and community building efforts. “More and more people are engaged in the idea of local sustainability,” says Erik Assadourian, author of the study and a Worldwatch research associate.
