Practice of Sustainability in an Ecovillage

Is there a solution to the self-destructive conduct of our society ? Ecological Footprint of Krishna Valley in Hungary

“Civilization is built from resources and energies drawn away from nature. The higher a civilization aims the more resources it needs and the more resources it needs the more is drawn away and the more is drawn away the larger is the devastation. At the outset of the third millennia we have reached a point, where we used up all these resources not only from the point of view of space, but also time.”

 The words of Géza Molnár bitterly call attention to the fact that contemporary society wants to live and survive in such manner in which it exploits natural resources at its own will and pleasure. It is truly distressing that our society is agonizingly trying to maintain this lifestyle so isolated from all natural systems and in the meantime it does not even catch its eyes that this “drawing away” is endangering its very own future ... 

Every responsible human can see that this condition is unsustainable. The question may come up: 

Is there a solution to the self-destructive conduct of our society?

In my thesis I will show an alternative conception, an experiment, which deals with nature in a completely different way and which may set an example how it is possible to cooperate with nature.
