🌍 Global Steem Village News #9: This week from the ecoTrain community
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.

It's happening. Digging and planting and planning in the first Eco-Village, located in Portugal. @orlev shows us what he's up to as he starts the work of tilling the soil and building a different future, based on honouring Mother Earth, self-sufficiency, off-grid, natural gift economy, cryptocurrency and community..

Planting 300 trees in 5 Acres of Land
Arguably the MOST exciting eco-community is an established, traditional community which learns, grows and re-orients itself to the core values of honouring the Earth and providing for one another. Kudos and a standing ovation to this community of faith coming together around tree planting, simply so that one day the community may enjoy the fruits and relax in the shade.
