This documentary was previously on Vimeo, but it is now finally on YouTube! • Some compare ecovillages to living laboratories for ways of living more sustainbly. In a world where sustainable living has become increasingly important, we thought they would be very interesting to explore. In this documentary two friends from Norway visit 12 European ecovillages, from Norway and all the way to Portugal, to answer questions like: what are ecovillages, what are they doing to be more sustainable, what do they look like, why have their residents chosen to live in them, and many more! • We hope to inspire, provide knowledge and food for thought, regardsless of whether or not you would like to live in an ecovillage yourself :) We hope you'll enjoy this documentary. • Content: • 00:00:00 Introduction • 00:01:45 Who are we • 00:03:16 What are ecovillages? • 00:05:30 Different ecovillage focuses • 00:09:12 Different living situations • 00:14:03 Private vs. social • 00:17:20 Private vs. common property • 00:18:26 Local food production • 00:21:40 Agro-ecology and permaculture • 00:24:34 Waste water treatment with willows • 00:26:00 Community life • 00:29:25 Common work, work, and economics • 00:32:05 Music of the Plants • 00:33:48 Residents' thoughts and experiences • 00:44:20 Starting an ecovillage • 00:48:41 Challenges and opportunities • 00:54:24 Learning from external resources • 00:57:57 Sociocracy • 01:02:45 Inner sociocracy • 01:04:55 Predjudices and normality • 01:12:45 Global challenges and sustainability • 01:21:20 Staying connected, showing alternatives, teaching and inspiring • 01:26:32 Interconnectedness • 01:31:50 Closing remarks • 01:24:03 Closing credits
