How to Create Sustainable Communities

g

This class introduces the relationships between the four dimensions of sustainability, drawing on a curriculum developed by ecovillages all over the world. If we are going to really address issues like climate change, it is essential that we look more deeply at how we define sustainability and what we are willing to question, rethink, and re-envision about how we live our lives. This interactive class is especially relevant to groups in the founding or revisioning stages where vision and values are on the table.

Most people who want to live in an intentional community (or are already there) are motivated at least in part by an urge to live sustainably. But what do you think of when you hear the word “sustainable”? Organic food, wind turbines, natural building and electric cars? Those things matter for sure, but real sustainability starts before any ecological choices we make, and is built upon our fundamental worldview and the social dynamics and economic systems it generates.
