An ecovillage is an intenNonal or tradiNonal community using local parNcipatory processes to holisNcally integrate ecological, economic, social, and cultural dimensions of sustainability in order to regenerate social and natural environments.
“Respond to basic needs with what you have, introducing innova0ons inspired by nature, genera0ng mul0ple benefits, including jobs and social capital, offering more with less: This is the Blue Economy.” Gunter Pauli, ini@ator of the Blue Economy The Blue Economy is a progressive metamorphosis from the Green Economy. Based on the noNon of thinking ahead so as to create more good, instead of less bad, it uses strategic, opportunity-‐driven raNonale to connect the environmental, social and financial puzzle. It is a business response to a changing economic landscape in which resource depleNon and social costs are unsustainable.
