THE establishment of Sommerville Eco Village in Chidlow Western Australia after being thrown off balance by the global economic crisis is now back on track. Global Eco Villages are living models of sustainability and address all major issues such as cultural, community and ecology. They grow as much food as possible, support organic food production, create homes out of locally adapted materials, protect biodiversity, preserve clean soil, water and air through proper energy and waste management, protect nature and safeguard the surrounding natural habitat.
