View this post on Hive: Eco-village dreaming...


I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!

thanks for sharing this.. sounds like you have a LONG background in this.. i have followed many of the groups you speak about! I was also from London and Brighton..

That BUY in cost is the part that has to go! and that is our mission.. to remove as much of the cost as possible to build for everyone.. watch this space! I have a feeling we may see you on site once we get building.. it will be an incredible opportunity for people to learn!

love your plans.. perfect!

Oh well Brighton is something of a hub for all things eco-construction, but land prices and the planning system, especially in the SE tend to scupper any low cost initiatives.

Lammas was a real game changer I think, but the regulations they have to go through are extreme, and land prices around Lammas have doubled since their success! Be good to get rid of that.

I hope to get down to Portugal for sure! I'd much rather be building rather than teaching.

yep! after earthship brighton we had planning permission for an earthship village in brighton on the cliffs.. it NEARLY happened, but the prices of the land made it too costly to do .. sadly that never happened...

im never happier then when im building,, C u there!

A vision in place for 2020. With income from the house and blogging, this sounds like the time to get back to your errr, roots :)

Good luck!

Kerching!

I think you got in early with the easiest pun! Cheers!

Glad to save someone time :)

Seriously though, I hope this plan works out great and will look forward to blogs on hot water from compost. (Don't forget the #stem #science #technology tags)

that really does sound like a nice vision... just being is something most of us have a hard time doing. And the off grid thing really interests me as well, I would like an earthship but do not know if they would go for something like that here in traditional Switzerland

I did actually have another sentence that said just that - just being is actually quite challenging, but cut it out for some reason!

Earth ships would work well anywhere in Europe I think, it's just a matter of whether planning regs let you build them!
