🌍 Global Steem Village News #6: This week from the ecoTrain community
Consolidating our energy towards a global network of steem-based eco-communities has been an exciting shift of focus 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.

@zeleiracordero
The driving force for eco-community is our connection to Gaia - Mother Earth - and to one another. @zeleiracordero captures that connections so beautifully in her poem, celebrating and exploring the very foundation of who we are and where we connect.

Homesteading- What a Way to Go! From Back Woods to Back Yard, It's a Ball
The commitment of time to one place is at the heart of eco-community and eco-village, and captured so well in this lovely post. We see the nut trees - ten years ago and now - and get to see the journey of WALNUTS after they have been saved from the squirrels. @thebigsweed shows us the journey - from the choice to not use chemicals, to food forest and the challenge of harvesting and drying a yummy stash of walnuts. Be inspired!

Misidentified Mulberries & Giant Weeds
The white mulberries that weren't! Before you invest the ten years into your trees and food forest, be SURE of what you're planting is the lesson @minismallholding shares with us. Luckily she got the better end of the deal (black muberries are so much yummier anyway!) and her loquat is in fruit to boot. We recommend @homesteaderscoop for great heritage fruit seeds.
@bghandmade
A Really Scrap Wood Table A First For Us
What's at the heart of every abundant eco-community? A big table! For celebrating, sharing meals, brain-storming, preparing the year's planting schedule and for shared art projects. @bghandmade makes the ultimate scrap wood table - 'ultimate' cos it's repurposing REALLY scrap wood, and because the intent for sharing is so clean and pure.

The Freedom That Comes From Unschooling
Freedom of expression isn't just for the adults in eco-community, and yup, that means some wild and loud children running around as they learn to express, feel and relate. @trucklife-family shares her perspectives of unschooling her girls. How does a community manage the balance between free expression for one and the need for silence of another?
@justinparke
Will your eco-village or eco-community have-need its own bus to move people and goods to the local organic markets? Will you be bussing people in for festivals, teaching and celebration? If that's a yes on the bus, we hope it's as cool as these buses @justinparke shared from his new community in Suriname.

Antibiotic Resistance In Food Animals Nearly Tripled Since 2000
Need more motivation for organic, vegetarian or the importance of eco-community? @vlemon updates us on the global state of antibiotic resistance and its frightening increase in the world.

Mother Earth & Space News: Earthquake, Storm Alert, Comet, Baby Planets or News Oct 17 2019
It's easy to forget that "eco" doesn't stop with planet Earth, and that soooo much of our weather, energy and moods are affected by space weather, not to mention the influences on tides and earthqakes. @icedrum contributes a bigger picture of "eco" and is great to follow for staying in tune with cosmic events.
@eco-alex
Thought For The Day: Real Equality
Spirituality MUST be the basis for sustainable eco-community. @eco-alex shares some profound and beautiful thoughts about real equality, to remind us - again and again - of what really matters: our connection to ourselves and each other. It is THIS SEED which creates a healthy eco-community.
And finally..... CONGRATULATIONS!! to @zeleiracordero
There is NO BETTER way to grow steem than encouraging others through juicy upvotes and encouraging new curators by letting them feel that nice feeling of flinging around more than 0.001. Kudos and gratitude to @eco-alex for this really generous delegation. We hope you will UPVOTE each of @zeleiacordero's comments to reward her curation zeal. Genuine engagement is everything.
And the Winner of 2000 Steem Power Delegation For a Month Is...?
We hope you have enjoyed these eco-village & eco-community related posts - please LAVISH them with upvotes, reblogs, comments and engagement.
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.

Thanks for consistently being such a quality contrbutor. x
you're most welcome, @justinparke - when the community needs buses with art, we KNOW who to call! :)
Good @zulaoyun
Thanks for stopping by. 😊
Thankful to @eco-alex, @artemislives and @ecotrain for the loving detachment specified in the delegation I am enjoying. The feeling of feeling that your vote counts is beautiful and you have the ability to contribute a grain of sand to the sack of another who makes his creations with effort and enthusiasm. The weight of the vote in Steem is little (0.02 to 100%), despite the generous amount of SP temporarily delegated (2,000), one would like the bull market to finish taking off, (that goes, it is decreed). However, the consideration and support provided by this community is great.
A big hug and lots of love for everyone.
If you use your votes fully & well everyday, your curation rewards go UP and you also gain some new followers. 😊 Enjoy!
Thank you for including my content in News #6: This week from the ecoTrain community.
You're super-welcome. Hope to read and engage more. :)
