Eco Unit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Many people dream of living in a way that burdens neither nature nor their personal finances. They seek a sense of closeness to and connection with nature. We have developed a course to help.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since the 1990’s, Folke G\u00fcnther has been developing a concept for an eco-village called eco-units.\u00a0More recently, in a few locations around Sweden, groups have begun the process of establishing eco-units. One of them is \u00c4ngg\u00e4rdets eco-unit in Flen.<\/p>\n

Actually, there is absolutely no need to move or build new houses. Any residential area at the edge of an urban area can be converted to an eco-unit. .<\/p>\n

AIM<\/p>\n
