Ecovillaes and sustainable lifestyles are my passion. I am particularly interested in Ecovillage design and the social component of sustainability and community. I have lived in an ecovillage most of my life and serve on the Board of the Global Ecovillage Network, an organization whose mission is to showcase ecovillages and help them network across international borders. One of my present projects is to develop education programns in ecovillages for the further development of model ecovillages, sustainable communities and social enterprise organizations in the mainstream.
