Maitreya – A Naturally Built Ecovillage
Part of the appeal of tiny homes is that they allow one to have a smaller environmental footprint. Another approach to the same goal is to increase population density in an area and to share more resources communally. As this second approach continues to grow in popularity, an increasing number of ecovillages are starting to appear in North America.
Below is another Peak Experience video featuring Robert Bolman, a natural builder who has created Maitreya Ecovillage in Eugene, OR.
This interview includes examples of several different natural building techniques that might be useful to small home builders who want to build as sustainably as possible.
