Learn about the future plans for the MOTHER EARTH NEWS Eco-Village.

A discussion of our ideas for the MOTHER EARTH NEWS Eco-village “community of the future”.

The MOTHER EARTH NEWS Eco-Village

With the November/December 1977 Issue, we completed eight full years of putting this periodical together. And for at least six and a half of those eight years, we’ve been talking and dreaming about someday establishing a MOTHER EARTH NEWS “Eco-Village.”

Now, as we’ve envisioned it, MOTHER’s Eco-Village will be a real “community of the future.” A community designed to fit into its environment so well that [1] It and all the people and animals which live there will have an absolutely minimum adverse effect on the planet and [2] everyone who lives there will enjoy a far higher standard of living than Is possible in a typical pollution-ridden, crime-infested, crowded, dehumanized, modern” city, town, or village.

Well, we still aren’t quite ready to rush out and buy 500 or 1,000 acres and start construction of such a community (unless, of course, someone wants to lay about ten million dollars on us). But we are getting ready-right now to purchase, maybe, 20 or 50 or 80 acres and begin a very small-scale mini-version of that community.
