Welcome to the Eco Hood

EcoHood, n: permaculture retrofit of a mid- to low-income neighborhood with a high potential for ecological sustainability.

Transforming urban neighborhoods into ecological, sustainable landscapes by offering interactive edu-tainment in the form of video and audio mod/pod blogcasting. EcoHood is a website created to educate people about the current state of the human/environmental relationship as we see it, and offer real solutions based on eco design, green building and permaculture principles such as recycling water, growing food, and raising animals.  EcoHood also acts as a forum for the perspectives of indigenous leaders and eco-revolutionaries of our time.
The greater goal of this work is to catalyze a mass movement towards a regenerative and sustainable civilization that reflects our potential for symbiosis with the life-support systems of the earth.
 

Renewal of the Earth in the new ecological community.

Whats an Eco-Village

Eco-Village Tour with Albert Bates

The Farm  is a spiritual intentional community in Summertown, Tennessee, based on principles of nonviolence and respect for the Earth. The Farm was founded in 1971 by Stephen Gaskin and 320 San Francisco hippies.


The focus of this eco tour video-pod is on the Ecovillage Training Center, a learning center for sustainability founded by Albert Bates. The Ecovillage Training Center is a living workshop environment where you can learn organic food production, natural building, permaculture and how to create and live in harmony within the means of nature. This video pod is an educated walkthrough intended to create a window into some of these eco methodologies and green technologies as well as thoughts and ideas by Albert regarding the creation of an ecovillage and the need to scale down our wants and needs.
 

 
ECOMACHINE
As we face a future in which clean water will become less and less accessible, we must re-evaluate our wastewater treatment systems and develop them into more earth-based processes that utilize human knowledge of the natural world. Watch as students from the Ecosa Institute's summer Permaculture/Water Design Intensive construct an ecological wastewater treatment system, or Ecomachine, in Prescott's Ecohood under the direction and guidance of the system's creator, Dr. John Todd, and workshop coordinator Andrew Millison.
