EcoReality is a nascent ecovillage on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada, dedicated to the ethics and principles of Permaculture, and to providing our own shelter, food, and energy in a sustainable and renewable manner. We do this by growing our own food, including raw goat milk and other protien sources, producing our own energy, including biomass, biodiesel and other sources, and by distributing our excess to the surrounding community, via direct farm gate sales, farmers markets, local grocers, and other channels. We are currently seeking one or more additional capital partners to take us to the next step of building thirteen unit of zero-carbon, zero-mile housing, using natural building techniques and materials.

Bearing the weight of booming populations and a precarious economy, cities can no longer conduct business as usual. Despite the countless technological and cultural shifts of the past century, many cities still resemble lumbering relics of the Industrial Era, belching forth smog produced not by factories, but instead motorized boxes stalled in traffic.
