Consolidating our energy towards a steem-based #ecovillage or, indeed, a NETWORK of ecovillages, is an exciting shift for @ecotrain. We are now deliberately and consciously curating 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 Nuggets curation and our featured posts if you can. Comment, resteem this curation and a few of the posts. Follow, engage and enjoy.

A sauna for natural health, well being and relaxation is an AWESOME addition to an earth-built home or an eco-village! @moountainjewel has been BUSY and shows us what they're up to! INSPIRING.

Did someone say INSPIRING? (as in, breathing life in to...?)

@mountainjewel continued to blows us away with a second, highly relevant post for earth-builders and eco-community wannabes: a post about TEACHNG SKILLS.

A Hitch-hiker's Story In Ireland
ecovillage8.jpg

Eco-community doesn't always happen only between earthen walls in a pristine plot on the edge of the jungle. It might happen between two kindred eco-souls, meeting for a brief moment on a country road somewhere. @misslasvegas shares a lovely piece about hitch-hiking. Her piece invites the question of is community created, or does it just happen when it happens, for as long as it lasts?
