Ekoköyler: Sürdürülebilirliğin Yeni Ufukları
Sürdürülebilir, barışçıl ve eşitlikçi bir gelecek, belki de 21. yüzyılın sonunda insan neslinin hayatta kalabilmesi için eldeki tek şanstır. Eğer dünyaya daha az hasar vererek yaşamayı öğrenemez ve işbirliği yerine çatışmayı seçersek daha çok yıkım ile karşılaşacağımız kesindir.
Ekoköyler işte bu şansı değerlendirerek şimdiden başarıya ulaşmış toplulukları anlatıyor.
Ekoköy hareketi içinde ve dışında karşılaşılan en büyük zorluk, bu kıymetli bilgiyi daha büyük kitlelerle paylaşmak ve sürdürülebilir bir yaşamı toplumun uçlarından genele taşımaktır. Küresel Ekoköyler Ağı'nın başkanlığını yürütmüş olan yazar Jonathan Dawson, Hindistan'dan Auroville, Senagal'den Mbam ve Faoune, Almanya'dan Sieben Linden, Brezilya'dan Ecoovilla ekoköyleri başta olmak üzere, dünya çapından örnekler vererek doğayla dost bir yaşamı seçmiş toplulukların sırlarını anlatıyor.

This is a good little overview of ecovillages. I have a few criticisms, though.
First, sustainable development is a contradiction in terms. Ecovillages need to somehow figure out how to retrofit into existing communities rather than converting yet more wildlife habitat into projects experimenting with Utopia.
Second, and related to the first, is the thorny issue of over-population. Many other variables of environmental degradation were at least briefly covered in explaining the positive benefits of ecovillages, yet population was never even mentioned.
Lastly, while kibbutzim might have important elements from which ecovillages can draw, no mention was made whatsoever of the evils of Zionism. In one part the author even extols ecovillages and their role in promoting peace between Israel and Palestine. Of course the colonial power wants peace. They want a pacified indigenous population that they can ethnically cleanse. Resistance against an invading force is moral and peace, if it means pacification, is wrong.

I found this a really informative and interesting book, it's short enough to be a quick and easy read and has a lot of detailed examples of ecovillages included. I would take the date-dependant information presented with a pinch of salt since it was published 10 years ago.

Pg 7: Oh oh, community not based on kinship. What can this hint mean?
Pg 9 Ecovillage is a peaceful socially just, sustainable community. "Healthy human development" successfully continued into the indefinite future". Marriage of a man and woman is the best way to do this.
Pg 15: Some Biblical scholars consider the 8th century BC prophet Amos as the first recorded intentional community designer. Essenes of the Dead Sea had 4,000.
Pg 16: Kibbutz movement in modern. Israel had 7% of the population and was at the heart of the economy. Hippies and back the land of the 60's and 70's are added as examples.
Pg 21: Ecovillage are decentralized dropouts from competition waste and pollution. What of violence?
Pg 23: Here is a hint: pooling of incomes. What part of the definition is that? Cohousing is a step away by not pooling incomes.
Pg 27: Television, radio and newspapers barrage images glamorizing western lifestyles and denigrating our traditional values.
Pg 29: What about a cooperative? Who would pay taxes. Warm Beach is a non working coop. Less building regulations would help.
Pg 31: One village in USA has it's own CSA.
Pg 39: Low tech or high tech development? The British have a precedent that people can live low tech on their own land. This would fit into our 200 year plan.
Pg 46: Tax on TV might reduce it's use. Local economies.
Pg 50: Local food production.
Pg 52 Earth restoration.
Pg 77: He sees the world becoming more decentralized and locally based, due to the slowing of energy options. England during WWII is an example of the need to going local and Roman during it fall. The next survivor will be into reforestation, seed saving, place specific technologies for energy, efficient housing. food growing, energy generation decision making structures, voluntary simplicity etc. Americans are miles ahead with so much land and so many resources.
Pg 85: Some areas of the would are all ready experiencing depopulation; Spain, Italy, west Ireland and Scotland. Australia has created a Ecovillage zone. Why not grants to villages that are permitted to be low tech. They could trade future benefits for permits and land grants. Such as HUD houses, foreclosed farms, public and, tax sells and land trusts.
Pg 86: Teachers, and other public worker villages.
Pg 87: It comes down to hippies and mainstream coming together in friendship.
Pg 96: has several resources most of which I have not see nor read.

Başka bir dünyanın mümkün olduğuna dair umudumuzu besleyecek, mantıklı, yol gösterici hikayeler, bilimsel bilgiler... Ekoköy nedir, dünyanın dört bir yanında insanlar neler için didinmektedir? Hepsi için bir cevabı var.
