Eco Living Weekly Digest #14
Eco Living Weekly celebrates our collective efforts to live more harmoniously on Mother Earth, and walks hand-in-hand each week with @ecotrain's other eco-village curation, Global Steem Village News. It's a "best of" from posts on the steem blockchain this past week which have used the #ecotrain tag.
What kind of content will get you curated here? Practical, thoughtful, creative and personal posts about literally Making the World a Better Place. From recycling, art, natural health and organic-permaculture to eco-travel, creating change, spirituality, art-poetry-music, natural food preparation and growing-storing-preserving your food and natural medicine. Please attribute quoted material and images which aren't your own, and be thoughtful. You need to use the #ecotrain tag to be considered for an upvote. And please make at least part of your post in the English language - we MANUALLY curate so we need to be able to understand the gist of your post.
We DON'T require you to delegate to @ecotrain, but we'd ask you to please consider it. You can take it back at any time, no questions or stress. Delegation is nothing more than a LOAN of your SP so we can give YOU juicier upvotes. It's a no brainer, really. We also don't REQUIRE you to upvote or support others (all too school-marmy for us!) but, again, we'd ask you to simply give to others what you' like to receive, which is a generous upvote and a thoughtful comment.
MUCH APPRECIATION for the wonderful posts this week.
Please: read, upvote, comment, resteem the posts we've selected for you. Share them on twitter, facebook and your other social media. And start writing YOUR next @ecotrain post.

Seasteading Couple Safe In
Panama
Eco-living can, and does often, push at the boundaries of what is
legal. @likedeeler reports on a controversial eco-living couple who
infringed maritime law in Thailand, and were forced to relocate. Happy
to see they have settled in Panamanian waters.
@scholaris
Alternate energy is critical for eco-living. @scholaris continues his
series and shares with us a great post about biomass - creating energy
from waste etc. This is a huge untapped potential energy source!!

Amazon, AT&T, IKEA, Clif Bar, DHL, & Others Launch “Corporate Electric
Vehicle
Alliance”
As much as many of us want to hate on the big corporations, in some
things (like the pivotal shift towards mass adoption of electric
vehicles) they are the only ones big and rich enough to lead the
charge. @vlemon shares a new corporate electric vehicle alliance
initiative.

new buddy, Australian bush
turkey
Learning about the quirks and fascinating adaptations species have made
is a wonderful part of natural eco-living! @honsikhago shares with us
the fascinating adaptation the Australian bush turkey has made so it
doesn't have to physically sit on its eggs to incubate them. Our
natural world is truly amazing!

Yes, we're getting serious about getting steem out there in the twittersphere. A little birdie whispered there might be some juicy upvotes encouragement worms out there, and it's an important onboarding tool.
The Ecotrain Question of the Week is one way that we, as a digital community, engage and share, learn and inform about things that matter. The QOTW is open to anyone, and this week's question was related to our NVC Workshop. We had some creative, insightful responses! Please go and support the curation and the posts contained in it with some upvote & comment love.

Most importantly, consider writing under the #ecotrain tag this coming week - we love all posts eco-green, earth building, spiritual and natural, but mostly as those things relate to the building and evolution of eco-community.
Wishing you peace, abundance & connection as together we try to walk more lightly on Mother Earth.
