Canada has always been seen as the American continent’s conscience in action and in this article I sense truly impact-full results from concepts […]

11February is Park Ecovillage Trust’s 12th birthday! And on the eve of this auspicious day I just read a short article (+-4 minutes’ read) by Thomas Hübl about re-affirming the need for real=authentic relationships with all our fellow planet-dwellers (of all ‘ kingdoms'[mfn]http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/virtualmuseum/content/fivekingdoms.html[/mfn]).
