| Findhorn Foundation | Ecovillage At the end of the 1980s, the Ecovillage Project was begun with an energy producing wind generator and the first of our new eco-friendly community buildings. An ecovillage is defined as being sustainable ecologically, economically, culturally and spiritually, and for us this is a logical continuation of our work with nature. Our original caravans are being gradually phased out as new cutting-edge eco-houses are built to the highest standards in many practical and beautiful designs. There are now 40 ecological buildings, and in the mid 1990s our biological sewage treatment plant, The Living Machine, was opened. We are part of the rapidly growing Ecovillage Network which links ecovillage projects worldwide. | |
