Eco-units meet the challenges created by factors that have combined to make our way of life non-sustainable:

• Resource depletion
• Climate system destabilization
• Economic system collapse
• Paucity of the “modern” life-style

Read more about these issues

If these challenges are not addressed urgently, coming generations will have massive problems creating even a minimum living standard for themselves.

KEY COMPONENTS

• A group, committed though co-ownership or contract, that shares resources to produce food, water, accommodation and in some cases work.
• A settlement where farming, living, recycling and energy production are contained in one geographic location
• Living accommodation that is a long term investment

The Eco-unit concept answers the following:

How can we organize working and living to produce a secure, acceptable living standard as well as sustainable investment, in a time of increasing energy prices, where we ensure the ability of our eco-system to supply food and other necessities for future generations?
