The Land is Yours : Kew Bridge Eco Village

On June 6th 2009, activists converged on a piece of derelict land at Kew Bridge in south west London to create an eco-village community based entirely on sustainable technology and construction techniques.

5 weeks into this project Jason Ramasami and Dean Puckett went to check it out .

The project is still going and is now in its 5th month for more info you can join the facebook group http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=88020757939&ref=ts

Land ownership is fine, but.....when someone dies and has no heirs to the land and estate, that land and estate should be given freely back to the people to live on for free, that is one way we can prevent developers from destroying untouched land and reusing existing buildings. Basically Land and home recycling!

@elkyrona - I agree with you. I appreciate the example of what these folks are are doing to combine the experience of a community garden and eco village.

What it boils down to, is choice (or the lack of it). Currently, choice doesn't exist. The Land Enclosure acts effectively booted the common man off land on this island and made us flee to the industrial centres in order to survive. It continues today. Now we're fed opiates to make this slavery seem worthwhile. All i want is choice. When the means to choose an alternative is blatantly obstructed by the state, then that state is against my autonomy. It wants me to remain a human resource.

Guess they want to erect the flats now. Veggies you grew destroyed and your place gone, so are you all going to start it up again?

@earthdoctor theyre only using what people would otherwise throw onto a landfill site creating more pollution, so really theyre helping the "outside system" by disposing of their waste :) if those things didnt exist they could go to a landfill site and find them... i agree with your point about their attitude but thats because they see the governments use of their money for wars/making a few people rich as evil i guess, so theyre just avoiding it and stating that opinion when asked.

Lovely. Search 'Coed Hills' to glimpse another fine bunch in Wales.
