The Global Ecovillage Network is a global association of people and communities (ecovillages) dedicated to living ”sustainable plus” lives by restoring the land and adding more to the environment than is taken. Network members share ideas and information, transfer technologies and develop cultural and educational exchanges. [from Wikipedia]
