Tour: LA Eco Village

laecovillage.orgThe Los Angeles Eco-Village Intentional Community consists of approximately 40 folks who have moved to the neighborhood to live more ecologically and more cooperatively. Most of us are demonstrating the processes—ecologically, economically, and socially —that manifest an ecovillage. We are raising the quality of community life while lowering our environmental impacts, and expanding public awareness about more sustainable urban living.

The Los Angeles Eco-Village neighborhood, a place name, consists of the two blocks of Bimini and White House Place in the north end of the Wilshire Center/Koreatown area of Los Angeles.

The tour covers the following:

• History and context for the L.A. Eco-Village.
• Definition of an eco-village and our place in the international movement for more sustainable communities.
• Walking tour to observe actual conditions, actual and planned changes to the neighborhood as well as visionary possibilities.
• On-going questions and answers throughout the tour with Eco-Village guide(s).
• Problems and progress in healthy development of an intentional community.

$25 Fee, all of which goes to the LA Eco Village.
