When we went through the design process, whenever we came across an area that was special, it was very tempting to design your own house block there. We know from the books we have read that to place a structure on the best view will actually destroy the best view. We totally support aboriginal people of any country who say we should protect their sacred sites. We too need to create and respect our own sacred sites. To summarise, people living in ecovillages may make mistakes, but they also have successes.
Many people learn from each other.
We need to learn from history and nature. We need to seriously consider these, learn from them and combine them with the latest knowledge and wisdom available to us. My message is that ecovillages soon will be common in urban and rural areas, in poor and rich countries, north and south. I think the sky is the limit.
