Hello out there.
We are a founding Ecovillage in Nova Scotia, Canada.
We have there a good agricoltural land, with a lake, 25 m. above the current sea level.
Our goal is not to "simply survive" but to reppresent an alternative for the "next world". In this sense is is important for us that a common ethic is shared by all the group member.
below our "nine principles"
1. Unity - We believe that succeeding as one community is as important as succeeding independently. Balancing empowerment and interdependence makes us stronger. Dow's impact on the world is far greater than the impact of any one of its parts. We will work together, building relationships to create value for us and our neighbourhoods.
2. Passion - We show enthusiasm and dedication in everything that we do.
We wholeheartedly believe in this project; its goals and objectives are our mission, and we fervently embrace them and patiently pursue them.
3. Liability - We accept our individual and team responsibilities and we meet our commitments. We take responsibility for our performance in all of our decisions and actions.
4. Diversity -We recognize the importance of diversity. We honour the rights and beliefs of our Members, our customers and our neighborhoods. We treat others with the highest degree of dignity, equality and trust.
5. Force - We are a community in which individuals possess the resources, knowledge, courage and commitment to make the world a better place.
6. " Outside-in Focus” – Our Community is open to the world. We believe that advancement comes also from looking at situations through external eyes. Taking an "outside-in" view ensures that our path is always relevant and that our ideas are applied to "real world" challenges.
7. Support- We truly believe in each other, care, protect and support each other. We extend this aim to our customers and neighbourhoods.
8. Integrity -We employ the highest ethical standards, demonstrating honesty and fairness in every action that we take.
Our integrity is a critical asset and we are committed to upholding it. We set high standards, and we abide by them as we practice relationships fairly and behave ethically.
9. Balance - we think our future depends on flexibility – on a mental, emotional and physical level. All the principles exposed above require plasticity in their application.
