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 artisan-hand-curated community built around the concept of gift economy 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.

EcoVillage Journal #4 - Ethical Commerce & Trade
EVN2.jpg

The under-pinnings of eco-community start with how, and on what basis, we exchange value. @eco-alex shares the basis for ethical commerce and trade as he sees it, as a beginning for the EcoVillage community. It makes GREAT reading and is something for all of us to consider, wherever we live in the world.

It must have been something in the air, because @artemislives, too, was thinking about the way we do business and how we exchange value. She shared an important book that has helped shape her own fair trade and sustainable business model, and gives us something juicy to read if we, too, want to consider how we gather, express and share wealth.

Steem Fundraiser for Trees

Funding eco-community and food forest with decentralized crypto-currency? It's beginning to happen in different ways all over the world. @nateonsteemit reached out for support to add some important trees to the food forest he's establishing in the US - a forest which will, over time, be an incredible resource not only for his family and immediate neighbours, but others in the locality as the forest yields her bounty while the issue of food security becomes more critical in the world. Have a few steem to spare? Nate would love to hear from you.

Some great stuff here @ecotrain, glad to be a part of this. I don't use the
#ecotrain tag often, I do #eco-alex more often, and even that is not a
Lot I don't think. Love you all @artemislives. post upvoted

Always better to use #ecotrain rather than #eco-alex @jerrytsuseer - we simply don't search out or curate the #eco-alex tag as a community, and it woud be a shame to miss your post. Always nice to see oyu out here, supporting.

Thanks for letting me know that.
How would I know? Why is there even an eco alex tag then? I've used the #artemislives tag a few times as well.
Thank you for the compliment.
