Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Co-housing and ecovillages

[Arielle Greenberg Bywater (ariellecg]

My understanding is you can have ecovillages that are not cohousing (that are 
simply green-designed and -built housing developments but perhaps without 
consensus decision making, without a common house, without so much of the 
"intentional living" stuff) and you can have cohousing that are not ecovillages 
(because the community did not prioritize green building or doesn't think of 
living on the earth in a certain way as a core shared value).  Or you can have 
communities that are both.  Hence the ampersand in our community's name (our 
name while we're in development, at least!)!
