Hi Jesse,
Your vision is excellent and very beautiful!
I have thought of something similar. A community can live self-sufficiently on a well-designed land. With aquaponics or hydroponics, we can more efficiently produce our food. All waste materials are recycled, and less water is needed. Organic machines can do all the work; sometimes, we, especially children, need to connect with mother earth and collaborate with those machines. The machines are farm-oriented, built of natural materials and function like automata. The whole village looks like an artwork, harmonious with the surrounding landscape.
The eco-village can offer a global solution to problems caused by urbanization. The land is cared for and used more efficiently. So extra city space will be given back to nature. More people can enjoy natural scenery in their hometown without traveling abroad.
I wish to join you and others to start this pioneering project and ultimately create a better environment for everyone, for mother earth.
