Review for Global Village Institute, Summertown, TN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have visited the Ecovillage Training Center on the Farm, which shares space and facilities with the Global Village Institute for Approriate Technology twice. The second visit lasted for several weeks, and in that time I came to a deeper appreciation of the unity and integration of the site planning. The GVIFAT provides a much-needed standing example of community design principles that will allow for an increased quality of life for people living in a future marked by contracting access to energy and the economic and industrial activity that cheap fossil fuel energy makes possible. The value of this tangible exemplar cannot be overstated.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

I have most enjoyed the natural setting and the elevated importance that interactions with my fellow human beings take on in the virtual absence of corporate media, a long commute, and all of the atomizing and anonymizing elements of daily life.
