Ecoaldeias: práticas de cuidado a nível global e local

The globalization processes, the evolution of the communicational and informational systems and the current crisis (environmental, economic and politic) are motivating some people to reflect and build different social organizations and life styles. With this article we aim to introduce the ecovillages social movement, exploring their global dimensions through Global Ecovillage Network and their local practices through Tamera and Los Angeles Ecovillage. With this background we argue that, in this social movement, care is transverse to the design and experimentation of alternative lifestyles to themselves and to the other, so it can be considered a sustainability factor.
