🌍 Global Steem Village News #8: This week from the ecoTrain community
Consolidating our energy towards a global network of steem-based eco-communities is a clear priority for @ecotrain. We deliberately and consciously curate 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-hand-curated community built around the concept of natural giving 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 eco-community curation and our featured posts if you can. Comment, resteem this curation and a few of the posts. Follow, engage and enjoy.

One day these sacred texts - the eco village journals - will be closely studied by anthropologists to understand the transition of humanity just prior to the great apocalypse. Yes, volume 1 is out! @eco-alex has begun the work of documenting the creation of the world's first steem-crypto-giving-off-grid eco community.

TRIBE.talk - with @metametheus of Natural Medicine & @orlev of the Steem ecoVillage - Monday 28 October 2019
Eco-Village was the talk of the Steem Town this week, thanks to @pennsif. You can catch up with that interview here, if you missed it!! Awesome community spirit, with so many people exploring the possibilities of off-grid communities, using crypto and a natural giving economy.

Wild Tip: Build a Worm Bin To Help Your Garden
Communities within communities! @wildhomesteading shared this week about ANOTHER important community: his new WORM community. The same issues of siting, inflows, vibe and community outflow are important for our wormy friends! Sometimes we can learn a LOT just by observing critter communities which cohabit naturally and get it right.

Camp G.R.I.T.S. - A Sustainable Choice For The Conscious Traveler
The first taste of eco-village for many people is whilst travelling, and so the importance of a place like Camp GRITS can't be under-estimated. @freemotherearth gives us a really detailed look at an alternative place for travelers to stay and begin their interaction with ecology, community and lots of issues like repurposing and living in harmony with Mother Earth.

How Will Your Children Get To Socialize?
Children are such an integral part of community, and how they're educated and socialized is something parents care & talk a lot about. @trucklife-family shares her perspectives on socializing children within community as a home-schooler, and gives some really valuable and unique perspectives. The children ARE our collective future and this is a hugely important post.

EcoVillage Journal 2: Poem- Manifesting
EcoVillage is a practical response to disconnection, distraction, loneliness and the destruction of our natural world. @eco-alex captures the essence of WHY really beautifully in his poem from the Eco Village Journal.
We hope you have enjoyed these eco-village & eco-community related posts - please LAVISH them with upvotes, reblogs, comments and engagement.
If you're able to delegate, or increase your delegation, to @ecotrain, it's a simple and practical way you can help to engage with, and fund, steem eco-villages around the world.
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.
