About the Etopia Community: A Comment Posted by the Founder of Etopia, Zev Paiss:
Greeting All,
My name is Zev Paiss and I am the face and the visionary behind the Etopia Eco-Village on Second Life. I have created this place for all of us to show the world what is currently possible and to offer spaces for everyone to meet, learn, teach and explore what a modern-day eco-village could look, feel and be like. Come be a part of it!

Charter: This group is made up of all residential and commercial members of the Etopia Community - an educational Environmental Eco-Village with RL examples of Sustainable Development, Renewable Energy, Organic Living & Authentic Community. Enjoy our natural spaces, ride our train & gondola, make friends, rent an apartment, shop and visit exhibits. Come climb a mountain, lay on our beach, dance, do tai chi, ride a bike, walk through a forest, sit by a waterfall and just enjoy!

Zev:
Wonderful to hear from you,and thanks for checking in here. I have just rented an office at Etopia, for small meetings and conversations. What you have created is just awesome, and I know that Gaia Members will find it inspiring and horizon-opening. I look forward to speaking with you directly, and exploring possibilities for publicizing your work and this amazing accomplishment! Blessings and deep bows and appreciations! Happiness

Cool virtual place. Is there a pod for eco ideas?
Why only villages, why don't cities go Eco,? I envisage roof greenhouses, with solar glass roof for power too, guttering could collect the rainwater with a watering system for the organic plants and surplus could flush toilets. This would help reduce the problem of water run-offf in these concrete jungles.Kitchen wormeries could provide the compost.
Zephyr - Great ideas. In Second Life we can doalmost anything if we have the space. Do you want to come play and we can make rain gutters together…smile
