"The movement to create ecovillages is perhaps the most comprehensive antidote to dependence on the global economy. Around the world, people are building communities that attempt to get away from the waste, pollution,competition and violence of contemporary life. The Global Ecovillage Network links several of these communities worldwide."
~ Helena Norberg-Hodge,
Director of the International Society for Ecology & Culture (ISEC)

See what is happening now in the world: Ecovillage movement is expanding through the world.
On the top of the wave an ecovillage of new type - ecovillage of Kin's domains has been born showing the sollution to many global problems.

Kovcheg (The Ark) is one of the most successfull ecovillages of Kin's domains in Russia.
The whole idea may be said in three sentences:
"Our settlement is based on family owned land where each family owns one hectare of land to be kept in the family for generations. One hectare with woods, fruit trees, garden and a small pond can provide the family with all of life’s necessities. By using long ignored methods of cultivating the earth and harvesting in the context of preserving the earth for future generations, this hectare of land will produce enough for the family’s use with surplus..."

Yes, this is the future...

I have seen TV programs from two villages in my country, and personally visited two other villages.

I have met some "Schauberger folks" with watersystem knowledge and solutions, and combined with other technologies here, this is a good, happy, harmonic and sustainable alternative to the present dominant style of living.

I really like this idea, and we consider doing this ourselves, but I don't think Big money like this independent life to be widespread...

Personally, I don't care whether Big money like this way or not.
I just follow it, co-creating my Space of Love for sustainable and happy living for my familly.
