Episode 49

Living Lightly

Community Activist

Michael Hale discusses the concept and sustainability of eco-villages, emphasizing living lightly on the land and reducing ecological footprints. Michael recounts his journey from environmental work in the 70s to co-founding an eco-village in the late 90s. He finds hope in collaborative local and bioregional efforts addressing climate change, advocating for collective action.

  • The Global Ecovillage Network outlines four dimensions of sustainability: social, ecological, cultural, and economic.

  • Ecovillages minimize their ecological footprint using sustainable practices like organic farming, permaculture, and water replenishment.

  • Sustainability should be the goal of a community, not growth. Why do societies feel the need to infinitely grow in a world with finite resources?

  • Contact your local representative. Hold governments and corporations accountable, and prod them into action against the climate crisis that affects us all. https://radioparadise.com/episode/michael-hale
