Schumacher Briefings 12:
Ecovillages - New Frontiers for Sustainability

by Jonathan Dawson
paperback, 10Euro

In recent years, ecovillages - local communities which aim to minimise their eclogical impact but maximise human wellbeing and happiness - have proliferated worldwide. They incorporate a wealth of radical ideas and approaches which can be traced back to Schumacher, Gandhi, eco-feminism, and the alternative education movement. This Briefing describes the history and potential of the ecovillage movement.
