Produced in association with the Global Ecovillage Network, Communities #171 explores stories of pioneering efforts worldwide by communities working to incorporate social, ecological, economic, and cultural sustainability. We travel to Australia, Ireland, Palestine, India, Brazil, Egypt, Fiji, and many other locales where ecovillages are helping to improve lives. We learn how ecovillages can help address our most pressing issues while offering hopeful models for the present and future.
