Global Steem Village News #18

ecotrain (70)in #ecotrain • 5 years ago

Consolidating our energy towards a global network of steem-based eco-communities is a clear priority for @ecotrain. We deliberately and consciously curate those posts which speak to the issues, challenges and needs of the emerging steem eco-communities around the world.

GREAT content this week - here are some of the gems, eco-green wisdom & insight shared under the #ecotrain tag this week on the steem blockchain. Even if you don't have VP or RC to upvote, a meaningful comment is usually upvoted by a smart author, so please go and lavish your appreciation and engagement on this great content.

We truly are an amazing global community - and growing with new contributors every week!! If you want to help @ecotrain give juicier upvotes, please delegate or increase your delegation if you can. It matters! You loaning us your steem to make more money for you? Bit of a no-brainer, really!

@ecotrain is a artisan-hand-curated community built around the concept of gift economy and actively making our world a better place. We engage around sustainability, eco-green, permaculture, the glories of Mother Earth, inner transformation, alternative energy, earthships & earth building, recycling - in short, all the practical and conceptual underpinnings of paradigm shift.

Each week @eco-alex and @artemislives scour the steemit blockchain for
people using the tag, and upvote-comment-curate in the best way they
know how.

Please:

Upvote this eco-community curation and our featured posts if you can.
Comment, resteem this curation and a few of the posts. Follow, engage
and enjoy.

EcoVillage
update

Fire danger zoning and building permits are order of the day as the
eco-village in Portugal tries to find its feet. Could the reduction in
fire danger be used globally? Lots to learn and reflect on here!

Planting Beside
Street

Eco-Village doesn't always mean starting from scratch - sometimes it
means greening and teaching within existing structures and communities.
@abdulhamids shows us the success he's having with his "get down &
dirty" tree-planting approach.

Return of the Prepper #4 : Prepping in Old Age - how to prepare for
that?

faces #coronavirus.

Disrupting the cost of living - E#2 - The Discomfort-Zone
Podcast

Constraining or removing so-called "fixed costs of living" creates a
level of freedom that has to be seen to be believed. @orlev invites us
to reconsider which costs we are beholden to, and to re-imagine new ways
of living together in eco-village which remove those constraints.

If you've been lurking under a rock and missed it, @eco-alex has
generously offered a 4 week FREE Non Violent Communication workshop. So
much incredible learning and growing to be had... please join in!
