It givews me an idea for a business. You pay to stay and live on a basic farm for a week, or month or two, Virgin, O2, starbucks maybe interested in some sponsorship.
Enjoyed your video's of Kew eco village. Can i ask you a technical question? What video camera or camera do you use as i use a canon camera Powershot A720IS with normal 640 res and want desperately to go up in res (but also want to be able to carry it in a pouch everywhere as i do now?
Also what editing software or hardware do you use?
I went to visit the village yesterday and really enjoyed it. Keep getting it out mainstream.
This makes me so happy! I live in West London and we LOVE the Eco Village. A place of joy, of hope and a demonstration of what people can do when they work and support each other. Worth a visit if you haven't been there -- and if you live out of town, send them a postcard -- write to:
No, its not religous. It's a practical measure to ensure the people on site get on with the neighbours. People always want to think the worst of those living in a non-traditional way so its about not giving them excuses. Alcohol can lead to rowdy behaviour and some previous sites have suffered by attracting alcoholics. I think its a smart decision and its a small price to pay for keeping it friendly and accessible.
By the way this place has improved a hell of a lot since this video was shot. There are wooden structures being built now to replace the tents and more facilities are planned such as more toilets and showers and a better kitchen area.
The police aren't interested in it untill the land owner has an evection notice--and they dont yet.
The idea of the project varies depending on who you speak to. The main motivations are: 1. to create a space where people can live without having to work in jobs that barely cover living costs...working just to get by is a terrible situation to be in 2. to demonstrate a more sustainable way of living that dosent degrade the environment and that puts more emphasis on people than growth.
However, the site is open and ideas for developing it are welcome from local people. The eco-village may have a limited lifetime but it is hoped that at a minimum the space can be put to community use rather than being turned into a housing project. They key philosophy of the camp is people controling there own destiny not leaving it to counsilors, mp's etc., The site has already been unused for many years.
