    I fixed the title for you. :)

    I've never been to an ecovillage, so I can't help you there.

    That term is often used for eco-tourism, for destinations that are supposed to be more in-sync with the environment.

    The term is used loosely as there is no standard definition that everyone uses.

    Some communities are ecologically minded and grow organic food and try to limit the impact of their lives on the planet.

    So for me, Eco-villages is just a marketing term for a project that investors have put money in to hoping for a return, not necessarily an alternative community, although who knows what they're calling communes these days...

    Idk but me and my family go off gridding sometimes. Honestly if you can find work go for it. That's the only thing stopping me from going into the mountains and never coming back
